Mediation has always been the underlying part of a divorce proceeding that gets things done. When you see couples sitting at conference tables with their lawyers in the movies or on television, they are actually engaged in the process of Mediation. The fact that it is an integral part of any divorce proceeding makes it the obvious choice for resolving conflict quickly and reasonably, with the least amount of stress.

The difference between straight mediation and a divorce proceeding is that if the parties in a divorce are unable to reach a resolution, the court will decide for them. In a mediation, the parties have a vested interest in reaching an amicable solution to avoid having to appear in court at all. Mediators act as go-betweens for both parties in a dispute and help to evaluate criteria in the formulation of a resolution that will be fair and equitable for everyone involved.

Bethany Macktaz, a former Assistant Attorney General now in private practice at Macktaz Law Inc., has highly developed mediation skills and will be able to help you formulate and reach agreements that are in the best interest of all parties. Bethany can sustain an environment of conflict resolution, through the use of stress-free tactics, and present you with the best possible options for a beneficial outcome to your situation.

Among the best benefits of mediation is the fact that neither party ever needs to be involved with the other in dispute or conflict. The mediator offers suggestions and resolutions based upon their evaluation of the matter. Because these suggestions are coming from the mediator in their attempt to move the situation forward, the parties are not required to adopt the mediator's ideas or views. Through the process of discussion by the parties, through the mediator however, most conflicts can be resolved quickly and equitably. Bethany has been trained in mediation and will be able to remove the stress and emotionalism from the situation for you, while helping you to reach your goal without arguments and discord.

Bethany's skills as a mediator are particularly useful in situations involving children and parental rights. She is clear-headed, compassionate, and able to structure concepts and agreements that benefit the parents involved, while maintaining the best interest of the child.
