Why Mediation?


 

 What is divorce mediation?

Divorce mediation is a cooperative process wherein two parties mutually agree on how to best move their family forward. 

Your mediator will walk you through the steps needed to develop a lifestyle that is more suitable to your needs resulting in an individualized divorce settlement that addresses the needs of your children, your finances, and you home life. 

Why mediation over litigation?

The mediation process puts you in the driver’s seat.  You are in control of your family’s future. It is the more cooperative, cost-effective and time efficient than litigation.

Mediation gives you more control over the outcome of your family structure by addressing individualized needs for both parents and children, ensuring that the needs of the family are met. 

 
 

You are not alone. I will guide you through the entire process.

This field has gained more popularity in recent years because people are more serious about taking the divorce process into their own hands. MORE people are using mediation because they see the benefits it provides to them and their whole family. They realize they can save themselves time, money, and anguish by participating in this mutually agreeable process.

I know what you are experiencing…

Just like you, I realized the time had come to alter my family construct so that we all could be living a happier lifestyle.  I wanted change, I wanted better.  But I also found myself terrified that my family was falling apart.  I worried about my kids.  I worried about my home. I worried about finances.  I worried about holding my family together when everything seemed to be falling apart.  Life seemed to be whirling all around me. 

 Divorce is hard.  Divorce is scary.  We don’t know how our house and home and children will look.  We fear what comes next.  Divorce feels like a lonely place but it does not have to be.  I will guide each of you through this process.  You will be able to transition your family into a better way of being.

Step 2: Negotiate Terms with Your Spouse

I create a safe and nurturing environment for both parties so that they can effectively express their hopes and desires and have them be received by both myself and their partner.  It is my goal to ensure you are heard.  You focus on what your family needs.  I ensure that the detailed steps are tended to and that all of the bases are covered so that you can rest assured this is an effective way to complete the negotiation process.

Step 3: Make Decisions for Your Family’s Future

I will guide you through the decision-making process.  Together we will create the future of your family.  I will lead you through a manageable process that allows you to have control and to determine how you want to transition your family into a happier lifestyle.  I will manage the process for you so that you can clearly define your future.  Divorce mediation is a route you can take where you – and not the courts – will be in control of your family’s future. 

 
 

Mediation Is On Your Time

 

I have had people come in who want the process done immediately and others who need time to digest the major life decisions they are making for themselves and their family.  With mediation you get the allowance of flexibility without exorbitant costs.  Some couples are able to come to an agreement in a few sessions, others need more time. You are in control of the timeline. We meet as frequently or as few as you want.

Mediation is the most cost-effective means to finalizing a divorce, enabling you to completely bypass extemporaneous legal and court fees.  No one ever can determine the final cost of legal fees related to litigation.
