Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party assists in helping parties to reach a mutual agreement that considers each of their perspectives.  The mediator does not make decisions or provide legal advice, but facilitates communication between the parties in a safe, comfortable setting.

Mediation is used in many different situations, such as workplace disputes, consumer issues, and landlord-tenant disagreements.  Aspen Mediation specializes in dealing with domestic or family-related disputes.  These may include issues such as: divorce and divorce modification; child custody and parent-time; and other disagreements often encountered by separated or divorced parents.
