Mediation is the process by which a neutral third party intervenes between two conflicting parties to promote reconciliation, settlement or compromise. Mediation provides disputing parties with the opportunity to identify and cope with interpersonal issues not originally thought to be part of the dispute. Mediation may also be particularly effective when family members have a dispute or when emotions are getting in the way of resolution. Mediation particularly in cases of probate mediation often aids families in understanding one another and creates accord that addresses financial concerns and provides the family members tools for continuing communication with one another.

Typical mediation cases often involve:

• Divorce settlements
• Child custody agreements
• Child support agreements
• Spousal support/alimony agreements
• Contractual disputes
• Estates, trusts and wills
• Landlord and tenant conflicts
• Employment disputes
• Business partner disagreements
• Probate and resolution after the death of a family member or friend
• Personal injury settlements

Mediation usually lasts for a shorter time amount than a trial and can typically take anywhere from half a day to several weeks. Due to the fact that it generally takes less time than a court trial, mediation also tends to be less costly. Another benefit to mediation is the fact that it is always confidential, and nothing said in mediation can be used in Santa Fe court if the process fails.
