MEDIATION
Resolve Family Law Disputes Peacefully and Productively
Mediation offers a cooperative alternative to courtroom litigation. When both parties are open to dialogue, mediation can help you resolve legal disputes with less conflict, lower cost, and more control over the outcome. At Fogelman Law Firm, we help clients in Clermont, Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Brown Counties navigate mediation with strategic guidance and focused support.
What Is Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party (the mediator) helps the parties reach a mutually acceptable resolution. The mediator does not make decisions but facilitates discussion and settlement. Mediation is commonly used in:
Divorce and dissolution
Child custody and parenting time
Child and spousal support
Post-decree modifications
Property division
Mediation can occur with or without attorneys present, and any agreement reached can be submitted to the court for approval.
Benefits of Mediation
Mediation is often faster, less expensive, and more private than litigation. It also:
Allows for more creative, personalized solutions
Preserves communication between parties—especially important for co-parents
Reduces stress and emotional toll
Encourages compliance with the final agreement
Whether you are starting mediation on your own or being referred by the court, we can help you prepare and protect your interests throughout the process.

Common Concerns About Mediation
“Can I still have a lawyer in mediation?”
➡ Yes. We provide coaching and support before, during, and after mediation to ensure your rights are protected.
“What if mediation doesn’t work?”
➡ Mediation is non-binding until an agreement is reached. If talks break down, you still have the option to proceed to court.
“Will the mediator decide who wins?”
➡ No. The mediator helps facilitate discussion, but all decisions are made by the parties themselves.
