Mediation and Baltimore Mediation\u2019s Transformative Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHAT IS MEDIATION?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mediation in Baltimore is a voluntary<\/span> and confidential process that uses an impartial third person, the mediator, to facilitate meaningful conversation between two or more people about difficult issues. The goal is to help people constructively engage in conflict and make informed and thoughtful decisions. The mediator does not offer legal, financial or psychological advice, nor does a mediator tell parties what to do. Instead, the mediator invites\u00a0the parties to speak about their concerns, helps them to hear information and each other in new ways, provides legal, financial, and other general information when requested to be considered and checked out as the parties\u00a0see fit, and drafts written summaries or agreements as made.<\/p>\n

For couples and families, mediation in Baltimore can be<\/span> used to sort out the details and make decisions about legal, financial, and emotional issues surrounding a separation and\/or a divorce. Couples and families struggling through difficult times also use this type of mediation to stay together, as do families facing complex issues who need a third party neutral to facilitate quality interaction and decision making. Mediation often saves parties both time and money and, most importantly, it allows parties themselves to retain control over the process as well as the outcomes, including possibilities and terms of agreement.\u00a0This is a transformative approach<\/a> to mediation which Baltimore Mediation mediators practice and have helped to develop nationwide.<\/p>\n
