Legal Questions

We do child custody cases of low to moderate conflict.
We do not mediation divorce cases with high conflict, violence or abuse.

Attorneys
Attorneys are not required to accompany you to mediation.
Parents are encouraged to retain an attorney, and most judges require parents to be represented by an attorney.  If parent(s) have an attorney(s) attained he/she will be required
to look over your papers before you sign them. 

Pursuant to Indiana ADR Rule 2.7(B)(1), the attorneys who represent you are to be
present for the mediation sessions, unless otherwise agreed.  Attorneys can agreed to waive
attending part/entire mediation.

If your case is one that needs an attorney present with you during mediation, than by all
means mediate with attorneys present.  It is advised to you that you always seek advice of an
attorney for all matters before signing or agreeing to matters concerning your divorce case.
