Parenting Plan Mediation and Custody Mediation

Peace of mind is important, especially when your children are involved. Mediating your parenting plan and custody of your children can help you work together as co-parents for your children. Whether it's your first discussion about parenting your children in anticipation of a separation or divorce, or a modification of an existing parenting plan or custody order, mediation lets you tailor a plan that works for both parents as well as the children. Custody mediation and parenting plan mediation also can help parents who were never married or divorced parents work together to minimize the impact of the fact that you're not living together.

All of the information on our web site concerning parenting also pertains to never married parents, separated parents, or divorced parents. Child support and parenting rights and responsibilities are the same for everyone.

The mediation process for parenting plans works the same way as mediation for a divorce, even if you were never married or if your divorce is already finalized. The mediators at Peace Talks Mediation Services see the same high rate of success in parenting plan mediation that we see in divorce mediation.

Child Support Mediation
Child support is modifiable in the event that circumstances change. The change may be to your income, the other parent's income, your child's needs, or a combination of all three. Mediation can help you communicate about co-parenting issues and child support. Mediation can help you find a solution that takes all of your needs, and your child's needs, into account. Read More.
