  Accepted answer
  Mediation and arbitration are both forms of alternative dispute resolution, but they have key differences. In Delaware, mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party helps the disputing parties communicate and negotiate to reach a mutually agreeable solution. The mediator does not make a binding decision; rather, they facilitate discussion and encourage compromise. If you choose mediation, consider drafting a mediation agreement to outline the process and expectations. A next step could be to contact the Delaware Department of State for a list of certified mediators. Remember that mediation can be less formal and more flexible than arbitration.
