What are the benefits of mediation for co-parenting conflicts in NC?
Mediation in North Carolina offers co-parents a way to resolve conflict without stepping into a courtroom—and that’s a big win when kids are involved. Rather than leaving decisions to a judge, parents work with a neutral third party to find solutions that fit their family’s needs.
Benefits include:
- Lower emotional stress – It’s less adversarial than litigation.
- Faster resolution – You’re not at the mercy of the court’s calendar.
- More control – You and your co-parent make the decisions, not a stranger in a robe.
- Better long-term cooperation – Working together in mediation often improves communication and sets the tone for future co-parenting.
In Mecklenburg County, custody mediation is even required before a contested custody trial (unless the court waives it for good cause). It’s not just a legal hoop—it’s often the path to peaceful, productive parenting.
