Can We Use Mediation To Decide Child Custody In Washington?

A: Absolutely. While many people have heard of divorce mediation, fewer people know that mediation can have several uses for couples who are ending their relationship or couples that have a child together. Using mediation to decide child custody and to create a parenting plan has many of the same advantages as divorce mediation: it puts the power into the hands of the parents, it is less expensive, it is less stressful for your children and it can be faster. While child custody mediation isn’t ideal for all couples, those who can communicate well, voice their concerns, and compromise might find that it is the option that best suits their family.
