Retirement Mediation
At The Mediation Group, we understand both the benefits and complexities of retirement. Maybe you’re divorced and disputing retirement asset distribution, or perhaps you and your spouse are discussing next steps (e.g. relocation, financial considerations, etc.). Regardless, we are here to provide a supportive, non-judgmental plan to find a solution to the issues you’re facing.
Our team is here to help you through this process every step of the way. The first step is a phone call. After that initial conversation, one of our highly experienced mediators will reach out to learn more about you and your unique situation and guide you through our process. Once all parties agree to mediation, we can schedule the first session.
What to Expect
Handling retirement disputes doesn’t have to be a time-consuming, expensive process. Mediation provides a warm, compassionate environment to co-create a respectful path forward with personalized, realistic agreements that reflect your shared wishes, values, and vision for your future.
Our mediation sessions are conducted by two mediators with relevant experience. The frequency and duration of sessions depends on the issues under discussion.
Financial Considerations for Retirement Mediation
Resolving retirement conflict can be a costly and exhausting process. In contrast, we charge $500 / hour for each session for two mediators, with an optional drafting of a Memorandum of Understanding for $350 / hour. Plus, you have the assurance that each session will be time-efficient and handled in a civil, respectful environment.

Nontraditional Family Mediation
Mediation is particularly well suited for resolving conflicts arising from gay or lesbian family structures, an area in which the legal framework is often poorly defined.
Raising a Special Needs Child
The stress and conflict that is a normal part of all families is often exacerbated in families with high-needs children. The Mediation Group can support parents to develop skills in perspective taking, advocacy and communication.
Parent/Child Conflict Mediation
Mediation can provide support to both teen and parent and can model respectful communication, boundary setting and negotiation skills during this often difficult transitional stage.
Mediation for Adult Siblings
Disputes over estate division, or use of family homes, are common after the death of a parent. The Mediation Group can help prevent these disputes from causing irreparable divisions within an extended family.
Family Business Mediation
Tensions around navigating business decisions within the context of family dynamics can be very tricky, particularly when it comes to issues of succession. TMG's family mediators work with colleagues from both the legal and organizational practices to address the complex issues surrounding family business disputes, enabling families to work together productively through these challenges.
Health Care, Elder Care and End-of-Life Decisions
Working through painful moments that come from an aging parent’s diminished capacity can be tremendously divisive for adult siblings, at a time when working together is so important for both the parent and the children. Mediation can be a valuable resource.
