Mediation for Families and Businesses in North and South Carolina
There are two sides to every story. Mediation Solutions helps you find the middle. Attorney and certified mediator Christopher Adkins guides divorce, custody, financial, civil, and estate disputes to agreements you decide, instead of outcomes a judge imposes.
Child Custody
Parenting plans, holiday schedules, and school and medical decisions, built for real schedules and real commutes.
Property & Alimony
Equitable distribution, the marital home, retirement accounts, debt, postseparation support, and alimony.
Civil & Business
Superior court mediated settlement conferences, contract and partnership disputes, construction, and injury claims.
Every kind of dispute we mediate
Divorce & separation
Settle property, support, and parenting in one process and document it properly.
Custody & parenting plans
Private custody mediation, or help preparing for court custody mediation.
Family financial settlement
Court-ordered mediated settlement conferences with a certified family financial mediator.
Civil & superior court
Contract, injury, real estate, and construction cases in NC superior court and SC circuit court.
Business & contract disputes
Partner and LLC disputes, unpaid invoices, leases, and employment separations.
Estates & guardianship
Estate administration, will contests, partition of family land, and guardianship disputes.
Why mediate instead of litigate
You decide
A judge who has never met your family has limited time and limited options. In mediation, the people who live with the outcome design it.
It stays private
Court files are public. Mediation is confidential, and most communications cannot be used as evidence later.
It is faster
Many disputes resolve in one session. Contested cases can take many months to reach a final hearing.
It costs less
One shared mediator and a focused session usually cost far less than preparing every issue for trial.
