Legal separations, divorces, and other marital or child custody issues often lead to disagreements that make it difficult to come to amicable decisions. Family mediation services in Miami, FL, help people come together and resolve their issues in a confidential setting. Below are some answers to frequently asked questions about family mediation services.
What Issues Do Family Mediators Address?
Most people associate mediators with matters of divorce and child custody issues. However, family mediators do much more. They’re also skilled at helping families work through other matters such as distribution of family inheritance, elder care issues, property division, and family business succession. If the issue is affecting one’s family, it’s an issue that family mediators can help make better.
What Background Does a Mediator Have?
Some mediators have legal backgrounds and others have mental health backgrounds. However, regardless of the mediator’s professional background, their role is not to provide counsel or legal advice. They are hired to be a neutral third party to help families work through their disagreements and come to an amicable agreement.
What Can One Expect During the Mediation Process?
First, the mediators will identify the issue that needs solving. Often there are many issues that families come to the table concerned about. The mediator will help prioritize the issues and then identify possible solutions. Once an agreement is made, the mediator will draft paperwork for all parties to review, make revision suggestions and, the ultimate goal, to sign and move past the issue.
