Mediation

Andrea offers mediation for specific parenting issues and the development of a parenting plan.  Andrea uses an educational approach to teach parents to communicate and make proposals for long standing skill development while assisting the parents in making current decisions for their family in a neutral and safe environment. 

This is a retainer based model, and requires a signed retainer agreement.   Please contact the office to request a Retainer Contract.

3. Each party should complete the Contact sheet provided and submit it to our office via fax or email.
