Why Families Choose
Phone Mediation Services
In
mediation, families deal with the problems and issues under dispute in a
timely fashion and in privacy. It is a cooperative rather than an
adversarial process, so participants are often able to repair their
strained relationships. Because family members develop their own
solutions, which reflect their family's unique situation, satisfaction
with the outcome is quite high and these resolutions tend to be
workable and long lasting
Some family
disputes reach the point where litigation proceedings have begun or
have been threatened. By employing mediation, families are able to keep
their conflict out of a courtroom. Courts take control away from those
who need to be involved in crafting the solution. Courts are not
charged with developing creative options that can leave all parties
feeling heard and satisfied. Because a judge makes decisions based only
on his or her interpretation of applicable laws, court decisions often
are not satisfactory to anyone in the family and are therefore less
likely to endure.
Furthermore, due to
the adversarial nature of litigation, courtroom proceedings can destroy
already fragile relationships. Accordingly, when families go to court,
even the "winners" often lose. In mediation, family members can control
both the process and the outcome rather than leaving it in the hands of
attorneys and judges. And it means that all family members can be
heard. In addition, because the parties control the process, in most
cases mediation is significantly less costly than litigation both
emotionally and in terms of time and money.
