Child Custody
A significant and growing proportion of same-sex couples, both women and men, have children in their households. When their marriage or cohabitation ends, difficult problems and conflicts may be raised about custody, and sometimes, parentage.
Same-sex partners who value the interests of their children will first try to address parenting issues, including support, visitation, and custody, outside of court.The benefits of child custody mediation for the children are enormous.
Using the services of a family mediator will be a good step for a couple to address the needs of their children and their future loving participation and connection in their children’s lives.
