Ongoing support for family conflict that keeps returning.
The Family Resolution Retainer keeps a neutral professional available over time for recurring disputes, major decisions, and structured family meetings.
What ongoing family support can include.
A retainer is arranged individually, so the mix is built around what your family actually needs.
Ongoing access to a neutral professional
A steady point of contact who already knows your family's history, so you are not explaining everything from the beginning each time.
Support for recurring conflict
The same disagreement resurfacing every few months gets a structured process instead of another argument.
Help with major decisions
Caregiving, money, shared property, or a family business — the conversation is guided, not improvised.
Preparation for hard conversations
Plan what to say, in what order, and what you need out of it before the conversation happens.
Facilitated family meetings
When several people need to be in the room, someone neutral keeps it on track.
Written understandings
Decisions can be captured in plain language, so what was agreed does not depend on memory.
When ongoing family support may fit — and when it does not.
This tends to fit
- Families where the same conflict keeps returning
- Adult siblings coordinating care for a parent
- Blended families navigating shared expectations
- Families running a business together
- Families facing a transition — illness, a move, an estate, a separation
- Families who would rather prevent conflict than repair it
This is not the right fit
- Situations involving abuse, threats, or immediate danger
- Families who need therapy or clinical mental-health treatment
- Anyone seeking legal representation or advice
- Situations where a court has restricted contact between people
If your situation falls outside this work, Edgewater will say so and point you toward the right kind of professional.

How this practice works.
Clear, calm, and private by design — with nothing promised that cannot be delivered.
Plain-language communication
No jargon, no procedural mystery. You will always know what is being asked and why.
Neutrality in mediation
A mediator does not take sides and does not decide who is right.
A respectful process
Conversations are structured so that people can be heard without being talked over.
Clear expectations before services begin
Scope, process, and pricing are confirmed with you before anything is scheduled.
Professional conflict-resolution support
Preparation, facilitation, and practical planning — done deliberately.
Privacy-conscious intake
We ask only for what is needed to evaluate fit and reach you. Sensitive documents are never collected through this website.
Practical next steps
You leave every conversation knowing what your options are and what happens next.
No legal advice
Edgewater Mediation Group LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
