St. Mary's County Community Mediation Center

The St. Mary's County Community Mediation Center assists Southern Maryland residents, organizations and businesses by providing alternative dispute resolution services.The Center is sponsored through a grant from the Maryland Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office (MACRO).

All mediation services are free with the exception of separation and divorce mediations regarding parenting plans and property distribution, for which there is a nominal fee on a sliding scale.
Mediation is convenient. It is scheduled on a date, time and location that is suitable for you.
You make your own decisions about how to deal with the conflict.
Solutions that you arrive at will be far more satisfying and lasting than anything imposed upon you by others.
85% of people who have used mediation feel that they have improved their situation.
