Mediation

For those looking to settle a dispute or negotiate an agreement outside of Court, the Mediation Practice Group at Bulman, Dunie, Burke & Feld, Chtd. can help. We work with mediation clients to find solutions that meet your needs. The Mediation Practice Group, led by partner Meg Rosan, Esq., serves both represented and unrepresented parties to mediate cases regardless of whether a suit has been filed.

The Mediation Practice Group works with clients to settle disputes in the following areas of family law:

• Parenting plans
• Separation agreements
• Postnuptial agreements
• Child support
• Property settlement agreements
• Alimony

The goal of mediation is to provide a voluntary process in which to resolve conflict. Mediation appeals to those seeking to maintain control over the outcome of their case, and avoid the time, expense and uncertainty of litigation.

We Are Here for You Throughout the Entire Mediation Process

Our attorneys provide an atmosphere free of judgment. We work closely with clients to gain a full understanding of their situation and collaborate on strategies to reach final agreement.

We keep the focus on your interests while exploring solutions. In matters of custody, our focus is on finding common ground that prioritizes the safety, well-being, and happiness of your child(ren) above all else.

Our ideal mediation case is one involving two parties equally committed to finding a consensus in an environment free of hostility. In working with our Mediation Practice Group, both parties must be willing to invest the time and transparency needed to reach a mutually agreed-upon solution in a respectful manner.

We know that finding common ground during a dispute with a former partner or co-parent can be difficult. But we are dedicated to building and maintaining a constructive space for that work to be done.

We do not impose terms, nor do we make decisions for you. We do not serve as your legal representative and recommend that all parties to mediation have separate counsel review any agreement before it is executed. Every aspect of your mediation process is confidential as set forth in our Mediation Agreement.

Should the need for follow-up or post-mediation support arise, we are willing and available to meet with clients after an agreement has been reached.
