Mediation - Child Custody/visitation - Never Married/third Party/seperated But Not Divorced | Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court - Juvenile Division

Provides a process in which parties develop a parenting plan with the help of a mediator. The mediator is a neutral third party who encourages parents to discuss the issues concerning their children and to help them reach an agreement. Goal is to allow the parties control the outcome and to foster communication on the issue in a safe environment and to avoid court proceedings. After an agreement has been submitted and accepted, a judge will sign the documents and the agreement will be put into place. If no agreement can be reached through mediation, a court hearing will be scheduled.
