Divorce Mediation Attorney

In other situations, divorcing couples sometimes find that they can make a satisfactory resolution of the issues between them if they try to resolve all of them through mediation, eliminating the need to go to court. If you’re interested in working toward a negotiated settlement of all issues in your divorce through family mediation, contact my office for a free telephone consultation.

Mediation Law
In Family Court mediation, each party presents its case on the disputed problem to a neutral mediator who helps narrow the issues, encourages settlement, and finally recommends a resolution, which is essentially a prediction of how a judge would decide the case. Although the parties are not required either to settle the matter or to accept the mediator’s recommendation, most people reject the recommendation at considerable risk of disappointment in a formal court hearing, with the added inconvenience of additional attorney’s fees.
Some divorcing spouses may not need a judge to decide certain matters, because they’re confident of their ability to agree on such matters as property division, alimony, child support, and child custody. They might well need an attorney’s help, however, is making sure that their divorce settlement covers all of the subjects that need to be covered, that none of the terms of their agreement are unlawful or unenforceable, and that neither party is giving up important rights without understanding what they’re agreeing to. A divorce lawyer or a mediator is also usually necessary for properly drafting the terms of your agreement in a form suitable for presentation to the Family Court for approval.
