When parents separate or divorce in Los Angeles California and child
custody is contested, the parties can attend child custody mediation
in Los Angeles County to sort out their disagreements regarding child
custody and visitation. Child custody mediation in Los Angeles County
is a form of alternative dispute resolution that may be scheduled by
appointment with the Los Angeles County Family Court Services
mediation or Conciliation Courts.
In a contested child custody matter in Los Angeles, child custody
mediation is required before the parties can have a litigated hearing
in the Los Angeles family court. In other words, the parties must
first attempt to sort out their child custody and visitation
disagreements through child custody mediation in Los Angeles before a
Los Angeles Superior Court judge or commissioner will hear the child
custody dispute in a litigated hearing.
Typically in child custody mediation, both parents are asked to
complete a child custody mediation information intake form. The intake
form can help the Los Angeles mediator learn more about the child
custody and visitation issues being disputed before meeting with the
parents. The mediator may meet with the parents together or
individually and will typically facilitate the discussion in attempts
to help the parents resolve their disputes. In child custody
mediation, the parties may resolve all, some, or none of the child
custody issues being disputed....
