The Benefits of Mediation
In Colorado, mediation is required in certain situations such as child custody and visitation disputes. In the mediation process, a neutral third-party known as a mediator seeks to identify areas of conflict and areas of agreement, and tries to guide the parties to an acceptable solution. During the mediation sessions, each of the parties may have a lawyer present to advise them. Mediation can produce a result that is both acceptable and workable, often at a more reasonable cost than other methods. It also empowers the parties, giving them the knowledge that they have each played a role in achieving a solution, thus reducing emotions and conflict.
