Congratulations to Kim Reisch! Kim retired on December 31, 2025, after 19 years of service with the Center for Dispute Settlement.

Thank you, Kim, for your dedication, poignant insight, and expertise in presentation and training.

Before registering my child for school, I needed to have our custody agreement modified. [The] Center for Dispute Settlement in Bath made the process so easy! They were able to accommodate my schedule and get an appointment quickly. I thought the service would be expensive but but it was so affordable. [The] Center for Dispute Settlement is providing a good service to our community!

I feel like this will bring our family closer & communication will be better between all of us. My friend will be aware of what we expect and we know what her feelings are.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your entire staff at CDS for assisting our foundation. My partner and I both agreed that the meditation process was constructive and healing. I am glad to know that you are doing such fine work in our community. Our mediator was patient, genuinely engaged, and respectful of our unique situation. He did a great job.
