Divorce Mediation
Divorce Mediation
Divorce mediation is an alternative to litigation where divorcing spouses / partners hire a neutral third party called a "divorce mediator" who helps them reach a mutually satisfactory agreement involving division of assets and debt, and a comprehensive parenting plan, when needed.
Self Determination
Working together, you and your spouse / partner restructure your family, focusing on your needs and the best interests of your children.
The alternative is having a judge, who does not know you or your family, tell you what to do.
Positive Impact on Families
The mediation process helps couples alleviate anger and hostility often associated with separation and divorce by helping them focus on positive and effective communication.
The communication skills practiced during mediation may help reduce the trauma to your children, who tend to suffer less emotionally if their parents communicate effectively.
Saves Time & Money
Mediation is a finite process that results in a mutually acceptable agreement which allows couples to move on with their lives.
Litigation can drag on for years and can bankrupt a family. Mediation is much more affordable, and mediated divorces are typically resolved within 1 year.
Steps in Divorce Mediation
The divorce mediation process is a structured series of steps that begins with helping you determine whether mediation is right for you, and continues through the preparation of legal documents.
