The most obvious reason to mediate your family’s transition is MONEY.  While mediation is significantly less expensive than litigating in court, the long-lasting benefits surpass the financial perks. Mediation provides a space for you and your partner to determine your path as you transition, and it is often much faster than going through a court process.  

For families who will continue to co-parent after separating, the process may help save and sometimes strengthen the co-parenting relationship through communication and cooperation.  

For couples starting a new chapter in their relationship, a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement derived from mediation provides the parties to begin or continue their union respectfully and congruously.

Have you and your partner decided to take control of the next steps in your relationship?

Are you looking to save time and money, and to avoid the pitfalls of the traditional legal system?

If you answered yes to the previous questions, mediation may be appropriate for you.  

Our office has an extensive screening process to help you decide whether mediation is the best route for your family. While mediation can be extremely beneficial to certain families, it is not for everyone.  Mediation is NOT for families with a history of domestic violence, nor is it for families with emotional or financial abuse.   At the core of the mediation process is respect and both parties must be safe and secure throughout the process.
