Resolving Minnesota Family Law Disputes Through Mediation
Mediation is not reserved for couples involved in divorce or separation. If you are seeking to resolve any type of family law or property dispute, mediation may allow you to maintain control of the process and create a solution that is custom-tailored to your situation. As compared to litigation, mediation tends to be more cost-effective and can offer higher degree of flexibility.

Using Mediation to Resolve a Variety of Disputes
Mediation can be an effective tool for obtaining a mutually acceptable resolution to a wide range of disputes, including:
- Conflict between parents and children, including child emancipation issues
- Parenting style issues between parents, including religious issues such as the faith in which children will be brought up
- Money issues, including the allocation of debt in a divorce or separation
- Property disputes between parties in a separation or divorce
- Dissolution of a domestic partnership or unmarried couple
An important point to remember about mediation is that most often the mediated settlement agreement is generally not a legally binding document until drafted into the form of an order and approved by a judge or referee. Thus, while mediation often provides a means to resolve disputes without potentially expensive and lengthy litigation, it is possible to take the case to court should the outcome be unsatisfactory.
Thompson Legal Services requires all parties present or involved in mediation to sign a non-disclosure agreement. This means that sensitive issues can often be addressed in an atmosphere of honesty and without fear of statements or opinions being used as evidence in any potential litigation.
