A Child Smart Med Arb is a process where the parents will start the process of creating or modifying their parenting arrangement through either the Formal or Informal Child Smart Mediation Process.  Then, if there is an impasse on any one issue or item, that issue or item will be decided or resolved by the Arbiter.  However, in keeping with the spirit of Child Smart Mediation, where the children’s voices will be considered in the formation of the parenting time arrangement, prior to the Arbiter making the final decision, the Arbiter will welcome input from the children pertaining to those last issues or items which remain in dispute.
