Child custody mediation is a way of resolving conflicts between parents who are getting divorced. It is facilitated by an impartial person, like a trained mediator.

During mediation, the mediator helps both sides talk to each other and understand their different points of view. This helps them come up with solutions that work for everyone instead of relying on someone else's decision which might not be the best outcome for either side.

Mediation can help make divorce less stressful, cost less money and take less time than going to court. It also gives both parents more control over decisions about their children and can help them better understand financial matters related to division of assets or debts.
