Ep. 53: Blended Family Mediation: How to Formulate a Cohesive Plan for Multiple Family Functioning
Thu Jan 22 2026
In this episode, Dorothy addresses a newer concept of Mediation: Blended Family Mediation. Blended Family Mediation is when co-parents and potentially their significant others sit with a mediator to go through a parenting plan that is all encompassing for all parties and all children’s schedules and needs. It focuses on the bigger picture as a whole, as opposed to just the two co-parents' schedules. Check out this latest episode to see if Blended Family Mediation is a fit for you!
