How does mediation work in a family case?

Mediation is a process that allows parents to work out a plan that sets out the child’s schedule with each parent, and specifies how decisions about the child will be made.

Is there a family law facilitator in Oregon?

Oregon law prevents us from offering legal advice to the public. Family Law Facilitators operate under the provisions of Oregon Revised Statute 3.428.
