The Mediation Center

We partner with certified Family & Civil Rule 31 mediators to conduct mediations under a sliding scale fee based on each individual’s verified income. These mediators help resolve Family conflicts ranging primarily involving Divorcing or Separating parents, creating or modifying Parenting Plans, as well as Civil matters such as Landlord-Tenant, Business, Estate, Property or other disputes currently in or out of court.

Our Center receives funding from the Administrative office of the Courts, and other grantors, to provide free mediations to low income parties found “indigent” by the Court as well as legal information & resources to aid those representing themselves, without an attorney.

Victim Offender Reconciliation Program funds our Center to receive referrals from Juvenile courts, SRO’s, School Teachers, Parents, and other community members to conduct mediations with young offenders & their victims to avoid further action in Court. Mediation helps find a peaceful resolution & promote restorative justice in our community’s youth.
This program helps juveniles take responsibility for their actions and help them be part of the resolution process. This gives the juvenile a voice and helps them develop conflict resolution skills.

• Mediation often saves more money and time than litigation.

Parties

• Parties craft resolutions to fit their lives and circumstances, and are able to move forward without more court intervention.
