Mediation involves a neutral third party (a mediator) who assists the parties in reaching an agreement. It is a process that gives both parties the power to make their own decisions and settle their matters out of court. Mediation services to resolve child support and parenting issues are provided by Family Justice Services (FJS) at no cost. You can access these services voluntarily by completing a Request for Service Form. Additionally, when you make an application to court, your matter will be forwarded to FJS to begin the mediation process.
