Is mediation right for your dispute?

Answer a few questions for an honest read — including when mediation isn't the right tool.

1.Is the other person willing to talk this through, even a little?

Mediation needs both sides at the table. They do not have to be friendly — just willing to communicate.

2.Do you feel physically and emotionally safe dealing with this person?

This one matters most. Elerion keeps you in separate private rooms, but your safety comes first.

3.Is there a specific outcome you want — money, a schedule, an apology, or clear terms?

Mediation works best when there is something concrete to agree on and write down.

4.Is this already in active litigation, with lawyers filing on both sides?

You can still mediate — but if a case is fully underway, loop in your lawyer first.

5.Will you two need an ongoing relationship — co-parenting, a business, or as neighbors?

When you have to keep dealing with each other, a mutual agreement usually beats a court fight.

6.Roughly how much is at stake?

This helps gauge whether the cost and time of court would be worth it.
