Divorce Mediation

A neutral third party helps both spouses reach a fair agreement — without the hostility and expense of litigation.

How Mediation Works

Step 1

Initial Consultation

Meet with a mediator to discuss your situation, goals, and how mediation works. Both spouses agree on the process.

Step 2

Joint Sessions

Work through issues like property division, custody, and support in structured sessions guided by your mediator.

Step 3

Agreement & Filing

Once both parties agree, the mediator drafts a settlement agreement that your attorneys review before filing.

Benefits of Mediation

Cost Effective

Mediation typically costs 40-60% less than litigation, saving thousands in legal fees.

Confidential

Unlike court proceedings, mediation sessions are private and nothing discussed can be used in court.

Child-Focused

Mediators help parents create custody arrangements that prioritize your children’s wellbeing.
