A calmer, more private way to work through the decisions that come with separation, divorce, or other family transitions.
Family mediation is a voluntary, confidential process for working through the decisions that come with separation, divorce, or other family transitions. A mediator helps both people have a productive conversation and reach agreements together, on parenting, support, property, and the practical questions that need answers.
It is a structured setting where both people can be heard, think clearly, and make decisions together. Many families choose it because it is private, because it keeps them in control of the outcome, and because it can make the working relationship afterward, especially co-parenting, easier to sustain.
Mark Lawrence has a deep passion for helping people navigate the most challenging moments in their relationships. As the more-neutral person in the room, he works alongside both parties to build a path toward their next stage, with clarity and care. He brings legal training, a JD and an LLM in Dispute Resolution, and more than a decade of experience in sensitive, high-stakes situations.
Mark is known for his calming presence in tense moments and for facilitating a process that opens up thoughtful, nuanced solutions. He works at the pace of trust, giving families the steadiness they need before important decisions are made.
We begin with a private conversation about your situation, what you need to work through, and whether mediation is the right path for you. This first step also includes a confidential check to make sure the process will be safe and appropriate for everyone involved.
We work through the decisions that matter most, at a pace that feels manageable. You and the other person make the choices. My role is to guide the conversation, keep it fair, and help you both stay focused on what you are trying to resolve.
Once you reach agreement, I help put it into clear, written form that reflects the decisions you have made together. You can then take it to be reviewed or formalized as needed.
Mediation is a process where the parties choose to work together to design agreements and bolster the communication necessary to work together going forward.
