Get certified and join our mission to make divorce better for amicable parents

MESSAGE FROM Our Founder
Tina Keyes
"Over my 11+ years as a stepmom, I have had a front row seat to the aftermath of the traditional divorce process. The "old way" of doing this has left too many families in turmoil and fractured too many childhoods. Enough is enough.
It is time we stop accepting the "status quo" and offer families a way to restructure that lessens the conflict and cost, instead of creating more.
It is time we put children at the forefront of this process, where they belong.
It is time we help parents learn to work as one team instead of battling for the rest of their lives.
When I got into the business of mediation, I thought to myself - there has to be a structured, affordable and peaceful way for amicable parents to divorce.
When I couldn't find one, I created it and Kids-First™ Mediation was born."
