Mediation

In family law and divorce mediation, the parties meet each other on a level playing field with a certified mediator who serves as a neutral third party to facilitate appropriate and reasonable solutions to all the issues that need to be decided. Family law and divorce mediation may not be appropriate for all parties or to resolve all issues. In some cases, divorce mediation will resolve all issues, while in other cases; the parties may resolve some issues through mediation and other issues at trial. However, even with very contentious parties, the process often works, and the parties are surprised to find themselves on common ground. We offer clients cost-effective, time-saving and healthier options to a traditional, court-based divorce. As a result we take the entire family into consideration as we help both sides negotiate mutually beneficial agreements.

Divorce mediation is less expensive and produces the same legally binding agreements. The benefits of mediation include: control over the outcome, savings in time and money, privacy, less stress, no court appearance, no prolonged legal battles, and less strain on the children. Many families opt for divorce mediation as an effective way to resolve their legal concerns. Unlike depending on a judge’s verdict, families have control over the agreement reached in mediation. The number of couples who return to court after mediation is less than one-third of the number who obtained litigated divorce settlements.
