Family mediation is a process that brings together a couple and their children or other family members in a facilitated setting in which they can discuss and attempt to resolve disputes or other issues that may be impeding their relationship. Family mediation is often used as a first step in divorce proceedings because it can be less costly and time-consuming than other types of divorce. In family mediation, a neutral third party (often called a mediator) helps the couple and their children (or other family members) identify the issues they want to discuss and work through in hopes of finding a solution that is acceptable to everyone involved. The mediator does not take sides or offer advice on how to resolve the dispute; instead, he or she serves as an objective facilitator who helps the couple and their children (or other family members) talk through their issues in a non-confrontational manner that encourages them to explore new ways of thinking about their situation and possible solutions. The mediator also helps the couple and their children (or other family members) identify the obstacles that are preventing them from finding a resolution and find ways to overcome those obstacles so that they can move forward with a solution that works best for them all.

The couple and their children (or other family members) should feel like they are participating in the mediation process, not being talked at by the mediator. For this reason, it is important that the couple and their children (or other family members) feel comfortable speaking up during the mediation session. The couple and their children (or other family members) should feel free to ask questions and express their feelings and opinions. The couple and their children (or other family members) should feel like they are being heard and that their concerns are being taken seriously.
The mediator should help the couple and their children (or other family members) identify the issues they want to discuss and their desired outcomes. The couple and their children (or other family members) may have preconceived notions about what issues they want to discuss. The mediator can help the couple and their children (or other family members) identify the issues they want to discuss by asking open-ended questions such as “What is currently on your mind?” or “What is troubling you?” The couple and their children (or other family members) may not know what issues they want to discuss until they are asked to identify them. The couple and their children (or other family members) may not realize that certain issues are affecting their relationship or are impeding their ability to work together to resolve other issues.
The mediator should help the couple and their children (or other family members) explore new ways of thinking about their situation and possible solutions. This can be accomplished by asking questions that encourage the couple and their children (or other family members) to talk about their situation in new and creative ways. For example, the mediator might ask the couple and their children (or other family members) to write down their thoughts and feelings on a piece of paper. The couple and their children (or other family members) might be surprised at what they write and how they feel when they read their thoughts and feelings. The couple and their children (or other family members) might be surprised at how their thoughts and feelings have changed over time, how they have changed over time, or how they are similar to or different from one another. The couple and their children (or other family members) might also be surprised at how their thoughts and feelings affect their ability to work together to resolve other issues.

The couple and their children (or other family members) may have a number of different goals and objectives for the mediation session.
