Colorado Team Mediation

In mediation, you can be creative and flexible in coming up with your own outcomes that may or may not fit what a judge might decide in the courtroom. If your conflict stems from a lawsuit, it is advisable for you to be informed of your legal rights and responsibilities and the possible outcomes in court. If you are aware of the legal aspects, you can make informed decisions. You may always seek the counsel of an attorney prior to making any final decisions. If you reach a resolution based on honest disclosure of all issues, needs, and concerns, it will set you up to succeed in living out your agreement.

Mediation is the best choice for you if you want to:

Preserve or continue an ongoing relationship
Avoid the often destructive emotional, financial and physical effects of going to court
Create and decide on the agreements that will impact your life
Proceed at your own pace
Maintain privacy
Make agreements based on honesty and full disclosure
Reach a resolution that meets everyone’s needs
Include your lawyer in the way that fits best for you

Understanding and cooperation do not imply that you are in agreement on every issue. Often if you take the time to truly understand, you may find that even your disagreements don’t have to cancel each other out. There may be ways to hold differing points of view and still successfully co-parent or work together in some other way.
