• M.A.R.C.H. is an acronym that stands for Mediation Achieving Results for Children. It is a unique, community-focused initiative designed to bridge the gap between financial child support and active co-parenting.

    While the court system handles the financial aspects of child support, the M.A.R.C.H. program focus completely on the personal side of parenting—helping families establish safe, structured, and collaborative routines without the stress and expense of an adversarial court battle.

  • This program is specifically tailored for parents who need help establishing or modifying their custody arrangements. Eligibility often includes:

    • Divorced, separated, or never-married parents.

    • Parents with an active child support services case.

    • Families referred directly by a family court judge or state agency.

    (Note: In many jurisdictions, parents with active child support cases qualify for a set number of free mediation hours through this program. Contact our intake team to verify your specific eligibility.)

    • High Success Rate: Roughly 70% of M.A.R.C.H. mediations successfully reach an agreement on some or all of their core issues.

    • Completely Confidential: Unlike a public court proceeding, what is discussed behind closed doors stays private and cannot be used as evidence in front of a judge.

    • Empowers Parents: Instead of a judge imposing an arbitrary schedule on your family, you and your co-parent maintain complete control over the final agreement.

    • Child-Centric Environment: The entire framework is built to lower conflict, protect your child's emotional well-being, and set up long-term communication habits.
