MEDIATION: can be a way to make decisions about your children without going to court. You and the other parent can make your own agreement for how you will take care of your children. The legal word for this agreement is "stipulation." It is also called a "visitation/access agreement.” Mediators are trained to handle high conflict cases and can also handle cases where one parent lives outside of Clark County or the parents speak Spanish. This is a free service.
