Mediation involves a third party mediator who meets with and assists couples in reaching an agreement regarding any domestic disputes they may be having. Our Certified Mediator and Divorce Lawyer is there to listen and assist the parties in their decision making. However, the parties are the ones who decide what their agreement will be. Our Certified Mediator and Divorce Lawyer can meet with both parties in the same room or can travel back and forth between the parties, whichever the parties are most comfortable with.
We offer mediation services in family law matters including:
- Divorce and legal separation
- Division of marital property
- Alimony
- Child custody, support, and visitation
Mediation is completely confidential and can't be used against you in Court. The mediator’s role is not to decide what is best for the parties, but to facilitate discussion and dialog between the parties to help them work through the issues and hopefully reach an agreement.
Working with our trained and Certified Family Court Mediator can be a more economical and amicable solution to resolve family law matters such as child custody, property division, and alimony.
It’s always worth a try to consider mediation if you feel willing to compromise with your spouse to settle your legal disputes. Finding a common ground with your spouse is the ultimate goal of mediation. Some reasonable give and take is necessary for mediation to work. It can be helpful for both parties to listen to the other's point of view, especially if there are children or custody is an issue. As mediation can make the court process a lot less stressful and scary for any children involved, this alone can make mediation a more attractive alternative.
You get the benefit of the services of a Divorce Lawyer who is also a Mediator. We can put any agreement reached in writing to be used in court when you finalize your case. You are allowed to maintain more control than the Court will ever give you. One of the advantages of mediation is the satisfaction of agreeing to a settlement versus being told what you will be required to do.
