When parents disagree on crucial medical decisions for their child, mediation offers a constructive alternative to court. This episode explores how a neutral third party can help parents find common ground on difficult topics, using a real-world scenario to illustrate the process.

• Mediation is a valuable tool for resolving disputes over a child's medical care, not just property or parenting time.
• Unlike court, which creates a "winner" and a "loser," mediation focuses on compromise and finding a mutually agreeable solution.
• Contentious disagreements can arise from uncertain situations, such as potential rabies exposure from a bat, where parents have different approaches to risk.
• One parent might focus on statistics (most bats are not rabid), while the other focuses on the severe consequences of the worst-case scenario.
• The most effective path to resolution is to obtain objective facts, such as by safely capturing and testing an animal, to enable an informed decision.
