“Heidi was the mediator assigned to us by the judge because we were considered high conflict and needed help. We now have a plan for our son that makes way more sense. I still don’t talk to his mom. We only email once a week but I think we are both better parents for it. Never knew what mediation was but I’m glad we went. Judge was happy we solved our problem without a trial. No one wins in that case.”
