Family mediation is a type of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that has grown in popularity in recent years. Family mediation is an informal, private process through which couples, parents and children, or other family members attempt to resolve their disputes before they become legal disputes. Family mediation is different from other types of mediation because it doesn’t have the same rules and protocols as other forms of ADR. For example, there aren’t any designated mediators or rules for how long a mediation session should last, who should be present, or how you should behave in the space. Family mediation is also less formal than other types of mediation because it doesn’t have a set process or procedures. This can make family mediation appealing for parents who want to keep the process informal, but still have a sense of what to expect. Family mediation also offers several advantages over traditional litigation or arbitration:
