Welcome to North Idaho Family Law, PLLC

We focus exclusively on divorce, child custody, adoption, and paternity and proudly serve the five northern counties of Kootenai, Bonner, Boundary, Shoshone, and Benewah.

Mediation

About Us

We at North Idaho Family Law, PLLC, are licensed attorneys who, for many years, have exclusively practiced family law. We are also Idaho Supreme Court Approved Child Custody Mediators. Our extensive experience as attorneys specializing in family law ensures that we understand your issues and concerns as well as the law pertaining to your case. However, it is important to recognize that when we are functioning as mediators, we are not functioning as attorneys for either party. We will not be advocating on behalf of either party, providing legal advice, or assessing the strength of your respective legal positions—such is not the role of a mediator. 


What is Mediation?

In the most fundamental sense, mediation is simply a negotiation facilitated by a neutral third-party. The goal of mediation is for a neutral third party (the mediator) to help the parties come to an agreement on their own. Rather than imposing a solution, a mediator works with the conflicting sides to explore the interests underlying their positions. Unlike litigation, mediation allows the parties to express their feelings and concerns in a private, confidential and unintimidating setting and affords them the ability to do so in a non-adversarial but direct manner and with adequate time to fully explore their grievances.
