DOMESTIC MEDIATION SERVICES

At Tranquil Parenting, our mediation services offer a structured and supportive approach to resolving conflicts, court-approved and guided by expertise gained through training with Southeastern Dispute Resolution Services.

Before engaging in mediation services, it's essential to research and understand the differences between mediator types, such as facilitators who guide discussions towards mutual agreement and arbitrators who act as neutral third parties empowered to make binding decisions in resolving disputes. 

1. Initial Consultation: Begin by scheduling an initial consultation. This session serves as an opportunity to understand your situation, discuss the mediation process, and explore how we can assist in resolving your conflict.
2. Court Approval (if applicable): For court-approved cases, we guide you through the necessary steps to ensure the mediation process meets legal requirements and standards.
3. Mediation Sessions: Once the process is initiated, mediation sessions are conducted in a neutral and comfortable environment. A certified mediator, trained through Southeastern Dispute Resolution Services, facilitates discussions, encouraging open dialogue and collaboration.
4. Resolution and Agreement: Our aim is to reach an agreeable resolution to all parties involved. Throughout the sessions, we strive to find common ground and mutually beneficial solutions to the conflicts at hand.
5. Documentation and Finalization: The terms are documented and finalized upon reaching an agreement, ensuring clarity and legal validity where applicable.
