About Your Initial Mediation Orientation
Mediation orientations at Peace Talks are free of charge, private, and confidential. Just you and your spouse, partner, or other parent will be present, along with one or more of the Peace Talks mediators.
A mediation orientation gives you the chance to meet one or more of our mediators, to see our offices, and to get your questions answered. This way you can make an informed decision if mediation through Peace Talks might work for you.
Orientations generally last 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how many questions you have. At every orientation, we answer all your questions and provide you with invaluable information about the mediation and divorce processes.
