Divorce Mediation
Divorce is a difficult process for everyone involved, and traditional litigation can be emotionally and financially draining.
Couples who are separating often find themselves in a hostile and adversarial environment, which can make it difficult to reach a fair and equitable agreement.
The high cost and lengthy timelines of traditional litigation can often exacerbate this situation, causing both parties to feel trapped in a cycle of conflict.
Why Consider Mediation?
If you are going through a divorce and are looking for a more peaceful and cost-effective way to resolve your issues, mediation may be the right choice for you.
Mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party, the mediator, helps facilitate negotiations between the parties to reach a mutually agreeable resolution.
Process
Initial consultation
We begin by scheduling an initial consultation to discuss your situation and determine whether mediation is the right choice for you.
Mediation Sessions
During the mediation process, we will work with both parties to identify areas of agreement and negotiate terms of the divorce.
Agreement
Once both parties have reached an agreement, we will draft a formal agreement for review and signature by both parties.
Court Filing
Once the agreement has been signed, we will file the necessary documents with the court to finalize the divorce.
Is Mediation for you?
If you are going through a divorce and want to avoid the high costs and emotional turmoil of traditional litigation, mediation may be the right choice for you.
We are committed to helping our clients find a more peaceful and cost-effective way to dissolve their marriage.

Voluntary
Mediation is a voluntary process, which means that both parties have the power to make decisions about their divorce, rather than leaving the outcome in the hands of a judge.
