RI Marriage & Family Divorce Mediation

• Guides and facilitates communication between the parties in a neutral and objective way
• Does not act as an advocate for either party
• Assists each party in identifying and clarifying his or her own interests, needs and concerns
• Generates a range of options for exploration
• Assists the parties in arriving at a mutually agreeable resolution of their issues

An attorney who is acting as a mediator is not representing either party and does not recommend settlement positions or make decisions for the parties nor provide legal advice.
