South Bend Divorce Mediation Attorney
Mediation has become a popular way to resolve many types of disputes. Many parents use mediation for family law concerns when they wish to cooperate for the sake of the children. My firm, Longstreet Law LLC, offers mediation representation to clients in the South Bend and Indianapolis areas to help them seek to resolve:
- Divorce agreements
- Custody and parenting plans
- Child and spousal support
Some family law courts in Indiana are beginning to mandate the use of mediation before filing a contested divorce case. Here is a look at the mediation process and why it could be to your advantage to use it to resolve a dispute.

A More Effective Way To Resolve Family Disputes
Mediation is an informal dispute resolution process led by a neutral third party called a mediator. It involves discussion, guided by the mediator, to make key decisions concerning the dissolution of the marriage, division of assets, and care and support of any children in the family.
Advantages Of Mediation
Unlike a court hearing that is open to the public, mediation is a private matter. Other advantages of mediation include:
- Less time spent to negotiate an agreement
- Less expensive than litigation
- Decisions are in control of the negotiators, not a judge
