Mediation services are a low-cost, high-quality, peace-generating alternative to traditional legal services. We provide a safe, collaborative environment, with honest feedback and help maneuvering through the legal process. We help simplify divorce, separation and relationship transitions by providing a less stressful, empowering alternative thus avoiding costly, adversarial, win-lose court-based proceedings. The process of mediation is appropriate and highly-effective for divorcing parties but also in many civil cases where the parties are willing to work to make peace with their conflict. Our services are based on principles of fairness, privacy and the self-determination of the parties. Our role is to reduce the obstacles to communication and assist the parties in identifying and exploring alternatives to the traditionally combative, conflict-generating legal process. We seek to empower the parties to take charge of the direction their lives will take, while insuring in custody matters that the needs of the children remain in the forefront of all concerned.
Divorce Mediation & Cooperative Divorce
A peaceful way for spouses or domestic partners who have reasonable differences about property distribution and custody to resolve these differences in a way that maintains good relations after the split. The parties meet together or individually with the mediator who assists in negotiating a consensual and informed settlement. Couples take charge of their future and they decide what is best for their family based on their particular relationship needs and standards.
Mediation takes place in a safe, collaborative environment, decision-making authority rests with the parties and the process is significantly less stressful than win-lose court-based proceedings.
