Kim Van Valer is a former Superior Court Judge now in Senior status mediating disputes in addition to her work on the bench. Most of Kim’s mediation experience over the last decade has been resolving family law disputes and training family law mediators all over the State of Indiana.
Divorce is often thought of as the end of the family. We believe the family can still exist in a new form. Mediation, when done with this belief in mind, can help parents transition from marriage to cooperative parents. Parents living apart CAN raise children as two independent role models with hope for a strong and happy future. Success in doing so begins with making wise decisions NOW.
In her judicial capacity, Kim has served on several Judicial Conference Committees by appointment of the Supreme Court and as faculty in several judicial and attorney educational programs.
Kim serves on the Board of Directors for the Indiana Association of Mediators having served as its President in 2012-2013.
In addition to her extensive mediation experience, Kim also trains mediators throughout the State of Indiana. If you are interested in becoming a mediator, contact Kim at 317-250-6043.
Kim believes that the best problem solving grows from the least restrictive method of resolution. Sometimes Court is necessary, but most often the right level of assistance is far less coercive and yields far better results. Let Kim help you discover the best solution for YOU.
