Even when a relationship is no longer good, a divorce or breakup can be extremely painful because it represents the loss, not just of the partnership, but also of the dreams and commitments you shared. Mediation is one of the most frequently used methods of negotiating a divorce settlement.  The mediator doesn’t make decisions for you but serves as a facilitator to help you and your spouse figure out what’s best.

Mediation allows you to arrive at a resolution based on your own ideas of what is fair in your situation, rather than having a solution imposed upon you based on rigid and impersonal legal principles.

• The mediation process can improve communication between you and your spouse, helping you avoid future conflicts.
• Mediation can also be a more cost-effective option to help you negotiate a settlement by utilizing an unbiased third party.
• The mediator helps you to frame and address the key issues you’ve yet to agree on, and then guide you to a mutually agreeable resolution.
• You can still have a lawyer give you legal advice if you wish.
• Most mediations end in a settlement of all of the issues in your divorce.

• Mediation is confidential, with no public record of what goes on in your sessions. Mediators keep the process fair and balanced and are impartial; which allow Clients to be empowered.
