As an accompaniment to Family Mediation Dr. Landau is now offering arbitration services.  If a couple is not able to resolve their parenting arrangements through mediation, Dr. Landau could provide them with an Arbitration Award.  A “Mediation/Arbitration Contract” would be reviewed and signed by the clients prior to commencing mediation.  An Arbitration Award is equivalent to a court order in terms of enforcement.
