DIVORCE MEDIATION

1. Carefully guiding you through a series of in-depth negotiations on the interests and issues you and your spouse (and your children) face at the time of your divorce. This includes your parenting plan, timesharing, child support, alimony, division of marital property, and various other issues
   
2. Making sure you discuss, and work toward, finalizing a full or partial agreement on all topics required to peacefully and cost-effectively end your marriage
   
3. Developing an atmosphere whereby creative options are considered as potential solutions to your issues
   
4. Finally, future-proofing your agreement by providing the correct questions on what to do when circumstances change.
   

The parties are encouraged to consult with attorneys any time they wish throughout the mediation process 

or at its conclusion to obtain an opinion about the agreement or to have the attorney process the 

final divorce through the court.

It is also possible to process the divorce without attorneys if both parties do not choose to obtain legal advice. 

The mediator does not file the divorce papers with the court him/herself but may help direct the parties toward alternative procedures for a final dissolution.

Divorcing couples participate in mediation when they choose to end their marital relationship and to settle their disputes in a cooperative, impartial setting where they can openly communicate on all issues. 

With the guidance of our firm, the parties decide for themselves which decisions best meet the needs of the whole family.
