Mediation is a process in which a neutral mediator acts to encourage and facilitate the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties. It is an informal and nonadversarial process with the objective of helping the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement. The goal is to help parties explore settlement alternatives by engaging in the decision making process and creating a suitable plan that both parties can walk away with.
Each family is different and faces unique issues. For this reason, there are a variety of situations which can prompt the need for family mediation. Path 2 Progress has discovered that some of the most common situations which require family mediation may involve or pertain to co-parenting, financial matters, childcare and more.
A parenting plan is a required document if you have children and are divorcing your partner in the state of Florida. This document states how you and the other parent will continue to care for your child after you divorce. It is intended to encourage “frequent and continuing contact” between both parents and their child during and after a divorce proceeding. It covers such things as time sharing, holidays, travel, extra-curricular activities, and more. In some cases, this is a challenging document for divorcing partners to agree on and complete. We provide parenting plan development services in which we meet with both parties to develop a mutually agreeable plan.
