Family disputes, particularly those involving divorce and children, are emotionally taxing and can be exacerbated by adversarial court proceedings. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we offer professional family mediation services in Tbilisi as a constructive alternative to litigation. Mediation is a confidential and voluntary process where a neutral third-party mediator facilitates communication between disputing parties to help them reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Governed by the Law of Georgia on Mediation, this process empowers families to find their own solutions in a private, respectful, and controlled environment, preserving relationships and protecting the well-being of children.
The primary benefit of family mediation is its ability to preserve relationships by fostering cooperation rather than conflict. Unlike a courtroom battle where a judge imposes a decision, mediation allows you and your family member to create your own solutions tailored to your unique circumstances. This is especially vital when children are involved, as it sets a positive precedent for future co-parenting. The process is entirely confidential, providing a safe space to discuss sensitive issues openly. Furthermore, mediation is typically significantly faster and more cost-effective than lengthy and expensive court proceedings, saving you valuable time, money, and emotional distress.
Our mediation services cover the full spectrum of family law issues. We facilitate discussions on divorce settlements, the equitable division of marital property, the creation of parenting plans and child custody schedules, and the determination of fair child support and alimony payments. The mediator does not provide legal advice or take sides; their role is to facilitate productive communication, help identify common interests, manage power imbalances, and guide the parties toward a durable agreement. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, our accredited mediators combine legal expertise with specialized conflict resolution skills to navigate even the most complex family dynamics.
Once an agreement is reached through mediation, it can be formalized into a legally binding contract. This mediated agreement can then be submitted to the court for approval, giving it the same legal force as a court order. This final step ensures that the terms you have mutually agreed upon are enforceable. By choosing mediation, you are not giving up your legal rights; you are choosing a more peaceful, private, and personalized way to exercise them. We are committed to helping families in Tbilisi find common ground and build a stable foundation for the future through effective mediation.
