In an Allocation of Parental Responsibilities case, the court typically requires mediation to help resolve custody and parenting time issues. You have the option of using a mediator through the Office of Dispute Resolution or hiring a private mediator during your case.
As a private law firm, we represent only one party in mediation to avoid any conflict of interest. While we represent one parent, this does not necessarily mean the case will become contentious. Instead, having an attorney on your side ensures that your interests are fully protected throughout the mediation process.
