Being in conflict is difficult for all of us.

We want to be able to get along with others and have hopes of being able to get past differences to resolve issues or relationships for the good of ourselves and others.

Professional Mediation makes the most difficult situations easier:

Divorce Mediation

• Custody
• Visitation/parenting plans
• Minimizing conflict between parents
• Some financial and property issues
• Written agreements can be used to file for dissolution in Domestic Relations Court

Custody and Visitation Mediation for separated unmarried parents

• Written agreements can be used to file with Juvenile Court

Family Mediation

• Parent-child conflicts
• Various family arrangements
• Step parenting issues
• Juvenile offenders of domestic violence

Community Mediation

• Neighbor disputes
• Victim-offender issues
• Juvenile crime-retribution issues

School Mediation

• Truancy
• Behavior contracts

Being in conflict can make us feel tight in a knot or stuck.

We can feel frustrated, angered, saddened, or helpless. Almost always, we do not like the way we feel about ourselves when we are in conflict with another person, especially when that conflict involves people we care about.

Anna Tyrrell & Associates understand interpersonal conflict.

Through mediation services, we provide a safe, neutral, compassionate process to help resolve conflict between parents, family members, neighbors, and colleagues.

Mediation is confidential.

It allows communication between people in disagreement to move them toward resolutions. The mediator is neutral and helps facilitate discussion to resolve the disputed issues. Once participants agree to a solution to their conflict, their agreement is written up in contract form. Negotiations between the participants are confidential.

Mediation is efficient.
Save money and time!

Mediation involves negotiations between the participants. How long it takes to resolve disputes is up to the participants. The mediator will guide participants in ways to most effectively communicate with each other and address communication breakdowns (roadblocks).

In cases of divorce, mediation is a tool to help participants resolve issues related to dissolving their marriage in order to eliminate or reduce the need for a contested divorce.

Mediation is respectful.

Mediation allows the participants to speak for themselves and to be heard. Participants determine the outcome of resolving their dispute. In mediation, participants are encouraged to seek accurate information and understand all of the particulars of their conflict and possible outcomes. They will know and understand what they can expect following mediation. In many cases, participants find ways to get along better or have clearer expectations about their relationship with each other. Mediation is respectful, empowering, and helps maintain dignity.

You have options… Litigation is only one of them.

Mediation is another.
Save money and time

• Mediation can cost less than half the cost of a contested divorce.
• Schedule mediation sessions at your own pace.

Take charge

• Work out the conditions of your divorce with your ex and the help of a neutral facilitator and take charge of the outcome.
• Studies show greater satisfaction with mediation than litigation.

Feel better

• Mediation is about being heard and having critical conversations to resolve conflict and to move forward.
• Parents often demonstrate greater satisfaction with the other parent when both have engaged in mediation to develop parenting plans.

No one makes the decision to divorce easily, and no one takes it lightly. Anna Tyrrell & Associates know that. But we also know that there are ways to make the process easier.

We offer a variety of family support services to help you and your family manage the divorce and move forward.

Separation and divorce are life changing events. They don’t need to be devastating. We will help guide you toward making this transition with your dignity intact.
