Spouses in the Brandon, Seffner, Riverview area may obtain a complete
divorce in mediation without resorting to the stress and expense of litigation.
Divorce mediation is frequently used by couples to amicably settle their
marriage without the need for litigation and costly legal fees. Divorce
mediation may be voluntary or court ordered.
Divorce mediation is advantageous for parents with minor children, who
do not want the expense and stress of a litigated divorce case, and who
see an advantage of maintaining a relationship going into the future.
This is because divorce mediation allows the parents (and not the courts
or lawyers), to work out the [best] possible parenting plan for themselves
and their children, and how they want to split their assets and debts.
Therefore we believe that divorce mediation is emotionally, and financially,
the best way for any couple to obtain a divorce. The divorce mediation
process is affordable, confidential, safe, and empowering. We cannot say
the same for a litigated divorce.
Divorce mediation is ideally suited for couples who are able to communicate and make rational decisions. Divorce mediation provides you and your spouse, the opportunity to safely and confidentially make your own decisions, and craft your own agreements. There are no downsides to divorce mediation.
A divorce mediation case typically requires
two (sometimes three) meetings with the divorce mediator. The
complexity of the issues will ultimately determine the actual
number of meetings. Each meeting is usually booked for three
hours.
During mediation we help you work out the details of your divorce,
and reduce to writing the things you have agreed to with each
other. Here we help you create a marital settlement agreement,
facilitate discussions regarding spousal
support, help you to create a parenting
& time sharing plan for your children, and help you
to equitably divide your marital asset and settle you debts.
We are also able to assist with the valuation of pension accounts,
and the distributions from retirement, and 401K plans if necessary.
