Mediation and Conflict Resolution in Boston, MA
Conflict occurs in nearly all relationships. Often, people are able to work through conflict on their own, without needing professional assistance. However, sometimes a good resolution cannot be identified and people become stuck or talks become stalled.
Mediation is a highly effective and cost-efficient method for helping people involved in a conflict work toward a mutually satisfactory resolution. With the help of an impartial mediator, individuals or groups can work through their differences in a confidential and structured environment. The approach is future-oriented and fosters a shared understanding of the conflict, with the goal of achieving a practical and workable solution.
Mediators guide and control the process but they do not offer opinions or try to influence the end result. Instead, they help each party clarify their needs, consider different options, and ensure that the process of conflict resolution does not become stalled or entrenched. Mediation sessions last between 2-3 hours, and often one session is enough to reach resolution.
Some of the types of disputes or decision-making that often go to mediation include the following:
- Prenuptial/Premarital agreements
- Financial or budget disagreements
- Separation
- Divorce
- Financial distribution and spousal support (alimony)
- Parenting plans (child custody and visitation)
- Eldercare issues
- Family businesses
- Adult sibling conflicts
- Disputes between parents and adult children
- Estate disputes
- Medical ethics and end-of-life issues
