The Office of Child Support provides one or both parents a referral list to mediation services. Because some community-based organizations offer mediation at little to no cost, it's often an easier and cheaper alternative to settling visitation issues in Family Court.

• Mediation can be a no cost or low-cost way for you and the other parent to discuss and resolve your
  problems about visitation and/or custody without going to Family Court.
  
  
• Mediation professionals do not take sides. They guide the conversation to find the best solution for parents
  and children.
  
  
• You will have a chance to express your concerns in a private and confidential environment.
  
  
• You may find new ways to think about your situation.
  
  
• You will have a say in any decision that is made about your family.
  
  
• Most importantly, children perform better in school and have fewer behavior problems when they have
  both parents in their lives to support them both financially and emotionally.
