Instead, a mediator helps guide the parties to a mutually agreeable solution. In terms of self-determination, no one knows one’s own family better than the family members themselves, so they have a better understanding of what works and what doesn’t. For parties with a family law dispute, a number of ways make mediation a preferable approach to the problem.
