  Oregon Divorce Mediation - What is it?

Mediation is about building agreements and consensus. Rather than having a judge *tell* you the decision, a skilled Oregon mediator will help guide the parties to agree on their own. For couples going through a divorce, divorce mediation is often an excellent way to reduce the level of conflict and create a resolution that works for the family.
