2. Parental Conflict Resolution
• The key purpose of a parental conflict resolution class is to provide
parents who are considered “high conflict,” valuable and educational
information in regards to the relationship between the parent and child.
• Throughout my time here with the Family Court Administration, I have
tracked and recorded the petitions filed by the parents who attended the
PCR class. From this information, I was able to analyze the trends
showcased through the petitions filed by both parties.
• Intent of PCR statistic tracking: To discover what petitions parents were
filing prior and after attending the PCR class to showcase areas of
refinement that we may need to consider during the PCR class.

7. Mediation
• The purpose of divorce mediation is for the couple going through divorce to decide what is best for
them and their common children.
• The couple meets with a mediator, who helps them resolve their issues. This process is
implemented to help end the marriage as respectfully as possible, and to reduce the cost.
• The couple works out an agreement , some come easy but others are more time consuming and
require a lot of work. The mediator intervenes when the agreements are hard to reach.
• The mediator’s presence is to ease the communication between both parties, brainstorm ideas,
reality test them, help them out making their decisions, and help them stay focused.
• The mediator cannot give advice, and must remain neutral.
• If the couple comes to an agreement the divorce process becomes shorter, if there is no agreement
the couple then has to see a judge for a final decision to be made.
• The main issues covered during mediation are:
– Division of assets
– Child custody
– Parenting time
– Child support
– Alimony
– Taxes
