What is Family Law Mediation?
Getting a divorce does not require waging a war. A family law mediator is a neutral facilitator who assists a divorcing couple in deciding what is best for their family and their future. A mediator can help with one or two sticky issues during or after a divorce or a mediator can be a guide to navigate the couple through the entire divorce process. Mediation can be done with individuals who are represented by an attorney or with individuals who are pro se. A certified Family Law Mediator can file the necessary paperwork with the courts, including the Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA). The mediator leads the conversation, educates the parties through the entire process, and guides the divorcing couple toward creating amicable agreements. With mediation, you never have to step foot in a courtroom.
Mediation – the choice for a healthy divorce.
In mediation, we take a respectful approach that reduces stress and supports well-being. The very nature of litigation is adversarial and confrontational. In mediation, the parties are empowered to make amicable, win-win agreements. In litigation, a judge makes all the decisions regarding your future. Judges do not have the time or resources to know and understand your situation so often both parties are unhappy with the results. In mediation, your voice is heard, your concerns are heard, and you have the opportunity to make decisions that are best for your family, your business, and your future.
Mediation saves you time and money.
Mediation offers a positive alternative to fighting it out through aggressive lawyers who charge massive legal fees. Our court system is extremely backed up, so court cases can linger on for years. Mediation keeps you in control of your money and the timeline. Mediation can often take just one or two sessions.
