How Does the Mediation Process Work?


At our firm, we will help you and your spouse come to a mutual divorce agreement by assisting you in the following areas:

  • Providing a framework for discussion: We will clearly lay out issues that need to be negotiated to proceed with your divorce, such as alimony, child custody, visitation, child support and the distribution of marital assets.
  • Guiding you through negotiations: As a mediator, we cannot provide legal advice to either party. However, we can guide the discussion by asking relevant questions of both parties when negotiations veer off course or get stuck on a particular topic.
  • Preparing your mediation agreement: Once you and your spouse have committed to an agreement, we will put it into writing and submit it to court to finalize your divorce.

With over 20 years of experience in divorce and family law, we understand the divorce process and can use this understanding to guide you and your spouse to a successful resolution.
