The Process
At its most basic, mediation is essentially a facilitated conversation between the parties to a divorce (the two spouses). The mediator guides the parties through a process that explores and addresses their individual needs as well as the issues specific to a divorce (1. division of assets and debts, 2. financial support and 3. custody and parenting arrangements). Along the way each spouse will be asked to prioritize their needs (what is most important to them) and be open to the others needs as well in order to arrive at a reasonable, fair resolution to each of the issues discussed. The goal of the process is to combine these agreements on individual issues into a comprehensive divorce agreement (a “marital settlement agreement”).
Free Consultation
The very first step is to make sure that each participant understands what is involved and is comfortable with the mediation process. So that you can make this decision free of any financial obligation, we offer a free consultation (via telephone or face-to-face) to explain the mediation process, answer any questions and make sure that mediation is right for you and for the issue at hand.
