Evaluative Mediation: A Hybrid Approach for High-Conflict Cases
Evaluative Mediation combines the structure of a Parenting Plan Evaluation with the collaborative spirit of mediation.
Designed for families in conflict who prefer to avoid court, this service empowers parents to remain active participants in shaping their parenting agreements.
In this role, Dr. Prange acts as a Parenting Plan Consultant, drawing from formal assessments, interviews, and psychological data to present settlement-focused options. The emphasis is on:
- Understanding the child’s developmental and emotional needs
- Identifying common goals
- Resolving disputes through informed consensus
- Crafting an actionable, child-centered parenting plan
Although all family members are interviewed and psychological data is used, no formal written report is generated. Instead, a parenting plan is created that reflects the agreements reached, while preserving the privacy and confidentiality of the mediation process.
