Family disputes

Family dispute mediation is a process where a neutral third party (the mediator) helps individuals or family members resolve conflicts or disagreements. The mediator facilitates communication and negotiation, but does not make decisions for the parties involved. Mediation is often used in situations such as divorce, child custody disputes, and disputes between siblings over a family business or inheritance. The goal of mediation is to reach a mutually-agreed upon resolution that is acceptable to all parties involved.
