Divorce Mediation

A client-centered, attentive, practical, and cost-effective solution for couples who want to avoid the stress, time, and expense of an adversarial divorce.

My divorce and family law practice is focused on non-adversarial options. In the right situations, mediation or lawyers working cooperatively on behalf of their clients may be the suitable option for resolving issues to achieve the best possible outcome for all involved.

In divorce mediation couples determine their own solutions for resolving the issues that must be addressed in their divorce. Couples work with a trained mediator in a non-adversarial setting to discuss their differences and identify solutions. The mediator will help facilitate communication and discover options. Many issues that come up in divorce are not readily apparent. The mediator will ensure that all the issues that should be addressed are discussed. In divorce mediation, the mediator does not decide who is right or wrong; there are no winners or losers.

My practice offers affordable divorce mediation to couples whose situation is relatively straight forward, who want to work with a mediator and retain a legal professional to assist in drafting a separation agreement and filing court papers and affordable option for obtaining an uncontested divorce.

Paying for mediation is different from hiring lawyers in an adversarial process. Mediation fees are paid after each session and are based on an hourly rate. There is no retainer or up-front payment in mediation like there usually is when parties hire individual attorneys to represent them.

As a mediator and attorney with years of legal and mediation experience, I will help you through the entire divorce process from start to finish, at a cost that you can afford.

Let's Get started

Divorce Mediation

Work It Out in Mediation

During Mediation, we will talk about the issues that need to be addressed in the terms of your divorce.

  • Some of these issues might include child support, parenting, how to divide your assets including pensions and retirement accounts, and who will live where after the divorce.

Your Memorandum of Understanding

After you have agreed on the terms of your divorce, I will prepare a Memorandum of Understanding, setting forth the terms of your divorce for you to review. The Memorandum of Understanding can be the basis of a formal binding settlement agreement.

  • ​Each of the parties is encouraged to consult  their own lawyer as part of the Mediation process.

Obtaining Your Final Divorce

A number of documents must be filed with the Court in order to receive a final judgment of divorce.

  • I will discuss the procedures for obtaining a judgement of divorce with you and the options that you have for preparing and filing the necessary documents.
