Mediation Appointment
Description
The Loyola Center for Conflict Resolution (LCCR) is a bilingual (English/Spanish) community mediation program that provides facilitative mediation and conciliation services. Services are provided by supervising professional mediators alongside Loyola Law School students, and other community volunteers. Dependency Court Mediation Services are provided by appointment and are free of charge.
In Dependency Court Mediation, a neutral person (the mediator) helps the parties discuss ways to resolve their concerns in person in an informal meeting called a mediation. Your mediators will not take sides, give legal advice or represent you. The mediators are there to make sure that each of you understands the other person’s viewpoints and concerns, and to help you work out a solution that is acceptable to all parties. Your participation is voluntary and you may withdraw at any time.
Our process is simple. In mediation, you talk about what you want to see happen and why. Mediators help you understand each other’s concerns so you can agree about what will happen in the future.
Our process is informal. We often use first names and ask each person to speak for him or herself. In the beginning, each party speaks to the mediator individually. If parties meet together, each person will be given the opportunity to speak without interruption by the other person. Later in the process, if both of you want, you will be able to speak directly to each other.
In Dependency Court Mediation, you have an opportunity to decide custody and visitation for yourself by reaching an Agreement; otherwise a Judge will decide for you. Mediators do not make decisions. We hope that all who attend our mediations participate in good faith, and that we are able to help you agree on custody and visitation.
