Mediators maintain strict neutrality while helping couples create fair separation agreements

Family mediators serve as impartial third parties who facilitate constructive dialogue between separating couples. Their professional role requires maintaining complete neutrality throughout the mediation process.

During separation agreement drafting, mediators:

  • Ensure both parties have equal opportunities to express their needs and concerns
  • Guide discussions without taking sides or making decisions for the couple
  • Help identify mutually beneficial solutions and compromises
  • Verify that both parties fully understand the terms being drafted
  • Document agreements using clear, unbiased language

While mediators may provide information about legal processes and common approaches, they do not offer legal advice or advocate for either party. Their primary objective is to help couples reach a balanced, workable agreement that serves both parties’ interests.
