Mediation is a voluntary process that brings disputing parties together in a neutral setting to resolve issues. At the mediation session, the mediators facilitate the discussion, ask questions, and write up any agreement the parties reach. The mediators are not judges and do not impose a solution. The parties themselves decide on the actual agreement. Each party receives a copy of the agreement. Because the agreement reflects decisions made by the participants, mediated agreements enjoy high rates of compliance.
A typical mediation lasts one or two hours and can be scheduled for days, evenings or weekends.
Mediations are held at Community Mediation Service's New Hope office or another more convenient, neutral location.
