What Is Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary legal process where a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps people resolve disputes without going to court. Instead of a judge making the final decision, both parties work together to reach a mutually acceptable agreement in a private and controlled setting.
This process is commonly used in family law, business disputes, property matters, and civil conflicts. Mediation focuses on communication, practical solutions, and preserving relationships, making it a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation.
