More cost efficient than custody trial.

Hundreds of dollars are used by attorneys to simply prepare for trial. Exhibits, motions, petitions, divert resources from finding a solution to making your issues presentable to a judge. This service removes that aspect and allows funds to be focused on finding solutions for your family. Custody Orders issued from the bench are not done around your family's schedule, values, and beliefs. 

Collaborative & Supportive

Our mediation is a collaborative process. We work with you, your co-parent, your family, and providers involved to find common ground and create a parenting plan that reflects your child's best interests. By adding in those closest to you, it provides you support for both parents to in complying with the order. Help with exchanges or facilitating phone calls. Your community can assist you in getting those things done. Our goal is to foster an environment that encourages positivity and constructive dialogue. 

We empower your child's voice

Children have their own perspectives and preferences. We help create a safe space for them to express their thoughts, ensuring they have a say in their future and aren't made to feel they have to 'choose' between parents. Your child's experience in your family matters. This approach helps craft an agreement that is realistic and sensitive to their needs.

Confident & Professional

Our mediators are trained professionals who uphold the highest standards of confidentiality and respect. We are dedicated to providing a safe and neutral space where you can openly discuss and resolve custody issues.

We are available for modifications

Whether you come to us with an existing custody order, or you want to come back several years after your first time with CLCS, we are here to walk with you through the process of reexamining your custody agreement. A family can return to CLCS as situations change--the process is meant to grow and change as your family does.
