Welcome to Canova Mediations

WHAT IS MEDIATION?
Mediation is an opportunity for those in dispute to come together, express their opinions and ideas, and exchange information necessary for all parties to make smart decisions. The process allows parties to hand-craft their agreement rather than have a Judge or jury determine their fate.

MEDIATION IS:

• Conflict resolution through effective communication
• An alternative to the Court system
• Controlled by the parties – not lawyers and judges
• More economical than going through the judicial system
• Effective in divorce, custody, visitation, real property disputes, breach of contract disputes, personal injury disputes, and more
• SUCCESSFUL

Mediation, simply put, is a format for parties in conflict to come together and exchange information and ideas face to face.
The key to conflict resolution is communication. As a mediator, Kimberly Canova brings the parties together and identifies the issues each party wants addressed. The parties speak openly and sometimes get to talk about issues that might not have been admissible in Court. After the issues have been identified, everyone works together to draft solutions to those problems.
