Divorce Mediation

Reduce Stress, Protect Privacy, and Move Forward With Clarity

Divorce can be one of the most difficult chapters in a person’s life, emotionally, financially, and legally. But it does not have to become a battle. Through structured, professional divorce mediation, we help couples resolve separation-related decisions with dignity and mutual respect.

Rather than letting a judge decide the outcome, you and your spouse maintain full control of your agreement with guidance from a neutral mediator.

Divorce mediation helps with:

  • Parenting plans and child custody arrangements
  • Division of assets and property
  • Spousal support or alimony agreements
  • Co-parenting expectations and communication
  • Creating a post-divorce plan that supports both parties

This process is not only more cost-effective than litigation, it is also faster, more private, and designed to promote healing instead of hostility.

Elder Care Mediation

Create a Unified Family Plan for the People Who Once Cared for You

When aging parents or loved ones require care, emotions run high and decisions are not always easy. Siblings and spouses may disagree on finances, medical choices, or living arrangements. That is where elder care mediation can make all the difference.


At Smith Mediation Center, we provide neutral, professional support to help families navigate:

  • Medical care and end-of-life decisions
  • Power of attorney or guardianship arrangements
  • Financial contributions from adult children
  • Transitions to assisted living or nursing care
  • Caregiving responsibilities and boundaries

We focus on helping families avoid guilt-driven decisions or lingering resentment by promoting open, structured dialogue and workable, respectful agreements.

Inter-Family & Sibling Mediation

Address Longstanding Conflicts and Build Stronger Relationships

Family relationships are rarely simple. Over time, unspoken issues, resentment, or past misunderstandings can grow into full-blown conflict. Whether the tension is between siblings, parents and adult children, or extended relatives, mediation offers a safe space to rebuild trust and understanding.


We help families resolve conflicts related to:

  • Inheritance and estate planning
  • Disputes over caregiving or family obligations
  • Blended family transitions
  • Communication breakdowns
  • Family business disagreements

Our approach helps reduce emotional strain while increasing clarity and cooperation even in high-conflict situations. Many families find that, through mediation, they can heal relationships they thought were permanently fractured.
