What Mediation Looks Like At The Law Office of Robert Black
So, what does he do as a family law mediator? In simplest terms, he sits down with the husband and wife or unwed mother and father and has a problem-solving conversation that leads to an agreed-upon solution to all relevant aspects of a case, such as divorce, custody and support modifications or rights of unmarried parents. Those solutions are then set to become the enforceable judgment executed by a family law judge.

Some years ago, an African client of mine, in a highly contested divorce, told me, “In Africa, Bob, we have a saying: ‘When two elephants fight, the grass hurts.’ My wife and I are the elephants…our children are the grass.” That quote hangs in my mediation room as a constant reminder for me of the promise of mediation and the tragedy of high-conflict divorce. – Attorney Robert Black
