Protect Your Child From the Harms of Custody Combat

Our Community Conflict Resolution Program offers structured negotiation, parent education, and supportive services for children. It is a gentler path to a legally binding plan you both can live with.

Family walking together

We Are Pro-Family. We Are Pro-Child.

We do not make assumptions in favor of fathers or mothers. We put the best interest of your child first, and we support your child's welfare by helping each of you explore a path to a resolution that is fair to both sides, respectful, and legally binding.

It starts with one simple step: send an invitation to your partner or co-parent to sit down with us.

Litigation vs. Mediation

A custody battle in court costs more than money. Here is how our program differs.

An Invitation, Not a Threat

Contested litigation feels threatening. Mediation is an invitation to work together on your child's future.

Free or Reduced Rate

Litigation is expensive. We currently offer free or reduced-rate services to families.

12 Weeks, Not Years

Court cases can drag on for years. Our 12-week program is built to put a legally binding plan in place.

Both Parents Decide

In court, a total stranger decides your child's future. In mediation, the outcome includes only what you both agree to give and take.

Relaxed and Informal

You don't need to know the rules of evidence or trial procedure. You just have a guided conversation that ends in a legally binding agreement.

100% Private and Confidential

A trial is public and can expose intimate details in a hostile setting. Mediation gives you a private space to heal without humiliating each other.

The Community Conflict Resolution Program

Three kinds of support that help your whole family move forward.

Structured Negotiation

A professional neutral third party guides calm, productive conversations toward a parenting plan.

Parent Education

Practical tools to lower conflict, communicate better, and co-parent with confidence.

Support for Children

Services that help children feel safe, heard, and loved by both parents through the transition.

We came in barely able to speak to each other. We left with a plan our kids can count on, and without tearing each other apart in a courtroom.
