Smoothing Ruffled Feathers

Mediation services being offered by professionals has been on the rise lately. This comes as no surprise especially since the main alternative otherwise litigation proves to be costly not just in monetary terms, but even in terms of the emotional turmoil it can give rise to. Often with the increase in divorce rates across the world mediation has been regarded as dealing in cases where divorce seems imminent. However, mediation services cover a wider scope than broken marriages Mediation services can be bifurcated into family mediation and civil mediation. Family mediation can be defined as a dispute resolution process that allows the concerned parties to arrive at a mutually beneficial decision with the help of the mediator. In addition to providing a constructive resolution to longstanding family disputes, family mediation helps in reformulating roles and responsibilities within the family, thereby reducing economic and emotional costs. Family mediation services cover: Divorce Mediation MN this involves all decision-making aspects including custody of children, finances and property before filing for divorce. Post Divorce Mediation involving changes to parenting schedules or plans, concerns prompted by children etc. after the divorce has been granted Parenting and Custody Mediation involving the cooperation and calibration of the parents to provide the best for their children. Similarly, civil mediation services cover areas such as: Workplace Mediation that involves disputes occurring at the workplace (i.e. wage disputes, claims related to sexual harassment etc.) Congregational Mediation involving disputes in churches or synagogues that may arise over leadership roles, between boards and committees or projects that may be planned that could have adverse impacts etc. Business Mediation dealing with conflicts between partners in a business entity or even between two or more business enterprises as such cases can often be complex and volatile. Property and Contract Mediation involving disputes over boundary and land, medical malpractices, contract disputes etc. Having seen the ambit of mediation services, it becomes necessary for an individual when seeking the services of a mediating organization to select one where the mediator remains neutral and objective and does not provide either legal advice or evaluate decisions made by the parties. The Erickson Mediation Institute follows a client-centric model that focuses on the clients sense of what seems to be right and fair. Additionally, by providing Mediation Training the Institute shares their vision and philosophies with others, thereby empowering them too.
