Mediation

Colorado Courts require parties going through domestic relations court to participate in mediation. The goal is to reach mutual agreements without having a judge make lasting decisions for you and your family.

You don’t have to wait for a court order mediation.  You can engage in mediation at any time as long as you and the other party are in agreement.  Mediation provides an opportunity for the parties to discuss their issue, clear up misunderstandings, identify separate and mutual interests and find areas of agreement.

Mediators are neutral third parties with no personal stake in the outcome of a case. They do not represent either side and do not provide legal advice. Instead, their role is to facilitate productive discussions and help the parties work toward mutually acceptable agreements. A meaningful resolution through mediation depends on the good-faith participation of both parties and the guidance of an experienced, effective mediator.

What is the goal?

Effective mediation is more than a single meeting to state positions. It is a structured process that often includes confidential pre-session meetings with each party, a jointly developed agenda, an exploration of potential options, and negotiation toward solutions. If agreements are reached, they can be formalized in a written memorandum for submission to the court.

Mediation offers several advantages. It allows the people involved to retain control over the outcome, keeps discussions confidential, and can promote greater cooperation and understanding that carries forward
