High conflict

Mediation low bono project 2023

Angeles Mediation and Port Angeles Pro Bono are currently offering low cost mediation for family law matters. Angeles Mediation provides an experienced family law lawyer to conduct the mediation. The cost is $50 per person per hour.

To qualify for low cost mediation:

The case must involve divorce, custody, parenting plan, child support, property division, and/or relocation. We also take cases involving domestic violence situations where both parties want to find a way to stay together.
Both parties must want to actively participate. Mediation is not possible where one party does not want to participate.
All low bono project mediations are conducted by Zoom or phone, not in-person.
Review the Angeles Mediation FAQ and Ground Rules before applying to see if both parties will agree to the Ground Rules.

Keynote speaker at DV Vigil

Mark Baumann will be the key note speaker at the October 20, 2010, Clallam County Domestic Violence vigil, hosted by Healthy Families of Port Angeles.

His topic will be the importance and difficulty of listening to and respecting victims of abuse. Domestic violence comes in many forms and can physical and/or emotional and can be perpetrated by men or women. Victims are often in an emotional place where they have been beaten down by their abuser and they often have a difficult time seeing their options and feeling their worth –they feel helpless. Compassionate listening is what victims need first. Only until they feel heard can they start to understand the reality of their situation. This can lead to an ability for abuse victims to start to gain a sense of mastery over their lives.
