As families navigate the complexities of divorce and child custody disputes, finding a resolution that minimizes conflict and stress is essential for mental, physical, and financial well-being. Mediation offers significant advantages for all parties involved as it helps individuals find common ground and resolve disputes efficiently before proceeding to litigation. Each year, the American Bar Association sets aside Mediation Week (this year, it fell on Oct. 16-18) as a timely reminder of how mediation can be a welcome resource in divorce and child custody matters—not only in October but throughout the year.
