Plainfield Divorce Mediation Services

Serving families in Plainfield and throughout Kane County
 
In today's society, conflict or disputes seem to be present in all human relationships, particularly in family and divorce situations. American Mediation Services, Inc. can assist parties confronting a conflict or dispute to reach a mutually acceptable agreement by negotiating with each other. Mediation is the process in which parties involved in a conflict or dispute agree to enter into assisted negotiations.

The mediation process saves the parties time and money during the divorce process, while allowing the parties to be more involved in structuring their agreement rather than attorneys. The parties involved in mediation are in control of the divorce process and are responsible for determining the final outcome and how their assets/liabilities, support, custody, and parenting time is impacted. When parties choose mediation, they find that their level of communication is significantly enhanced during the divorce process and that this helps to establish a better foundation for a more cooperative relationship following the divorce. The mediation process assists the parties in assessing their alternatives in the many components of their divorce process while generating options for the resolution of the conflicts between the parties.

American Mediation Services, Inc. recognizes that parties trying to resolve a conflict or dispute may be encountering difficulties initiating the negotiation process or may have reached an impasse after beginning to negotiate on their own. At American Mediation Services, Inc., mediation is a voluntary process where the parties work with the assistance of a trained Mediator who helps the parties to identify and prioritize the objectives or goals involved in their conflict or dispute.

The role of the Mediator is to facilitate communication between the parties that is designed to educate each party about their needs and interests. The Mediator then helps the parties to exchange specific resources that help eliminate barriers that are preventing the parties from resolving their conflicts or disputes. Finally, the Mediator assists the parties in identifying reasonable options that can be mutually agreed to in resolving their conflicts or disputes.
