What is Divorce
Mediation?
Divorce mediation is a process where a neutral third party helps couples reach mutually agreeable solutions on key issues such as property division, child custody, child support, and spousal support. It avoids the stress and costs of a court battle while keeping your personal matters private.

General FAQs

Q: How long does the mediation process take?
A: It depends on the complexity of your case, but many divorces are resolved in a few sessions.
O: Am I ready to start mediation?
Yes, if you are able to discuss options calmly with your spouse and mediator. You’ll also want to gather all the relevant financial documents and access all relevant accounts. Make sure you are emotionally prepared for the process and willing to approach it with an open mind and ability to compromise.
Q: Is mediation for everyone?
We believe mediation is beneficial for all couples except if there is domestic abuse or violence, there are concerns about transparency, or one party isn’t committed to the process.
Q: How much does mediation cost?
A: Mediation is generally far more affordable than litigation. Book a free consultation.
Q: What if we can’t agree on some issues?
A: Our mediator will work to facilitate compromise by discovering your underlying interests, and by helping you brainstorm and evaluate multiple options. If necessary, unresolved issues can still be decided in court.
