Divorce Mediation

About The Process

Mediation is frequently used to help settle issues which arise during any stage of the divorce process. Divorce mediation provides [you] the option to work directly with your spouse, on how you [both] want to divide your assets, settle your debts, and parent your minor children.

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, and length of the meetings. Each meeting is usually booked for three hours, with a two hour minimum. Mediation sessions are informal, relaxed, safe, and confidential.

During mediation we help you work out the issues you are having problems with, and reduce to writing, the things you have agreed to with each other. Signed agreements reached in mediation are binding, and incorporated into your overall marital settlement agreement, and final judgment.
