Mediation is a valuable tool for parents who are raising children in separate homes due to separation, divorce, dissolution of a relationship, or difficult circumstances. Coparenting can be a stressful and exhausting process and it requires a lot of collaboration in order to raise happy, healthy, and emotionally intelligent children. When disagreements arise, returning to Court, though sometimes necessary, can feel like a daunting prospect for a family that is already navigating life's challenges. 

Coparenting Mediation provides an opportunity for both parents to come together, express their concerns, actively listen to one another, and reach a mutually satisfactory agreement with the help of a neutral third-party. As a mediator, Nick keeps coparents focused on their children, while helping them work through stressful situations and decisions that crop up as their kids change and grow. Through Nick's training as a Guardian ad Litem and a Parenting Coordinator he has a variety of resources related to child development, coparent communication, and conflict resolution that can supplement the mediation process and help eager parents to reshape the way they collaborate with their coparent.

By choosing to collaborate amicably when coparenting issues arrive, parents can minimize conflict and prioritize the well-being of their children. A collaborative approach can lead to a positive and cooperative co-parenting relationship, reducing the emotional toll on children and providing them with a stable and supportive environment. Coparenting Mediation allows parents to go at their own pace, prioritize the issues that are most important to them, and empowers them to make decisions that suit their unique family structure.
