Mediators are neutral third parties that aid in resolving family law disputes outside of the courtroom. Their role is to facilitate communication, promote understanding, and help both parties reach a mutual agreement. They don’t make decisions but instead help couples find common ground in the attempt to avoid going through a contentious legal battle and taking the case in front of a judge. Mediation can be less adversarial and more cost-effective than traditional litigation, which is why many people in California consider going through mediation during the divorce process. If you are considering mediation, contact Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell, LLP for expert counsel.
