What is family law mediation?
Family law mediation is a process of negotiations and settlements outside of court. In mediation, you will work with experienced legal advocates who can identify the legal issues faced by your family, propose settlement agreements, and ultimately devise a comprehensive legal solution for your family. Working with an experienced attorney allows you to explore expectations and come to an agreement that is satisfactory for both parties.

Is family law mediation right for me?
Family mediation is a viable option for parties who wish to come to a mutual agreement. It does require that parties be able to sit down, identify legal issues and reasonably work towards agreement. If you and your spouse cannot sit down in the same room, or find that every discussion involves a heated argument, mediation may not be an option for you.
It is very beneficial to consider the possibilities available through mediation. You can save court costs and attorneys fees, minimize time spent on your case, and reduce the overall stress of court. You will also be able to work towards solutions tailored to your family's needs, rather than the ultimate decision of a judge.
Remember, if mediation is not effective, you can go to court to obtain a resolution. In the event that mediation does not work, our attorneys are also experienced in all aspects of complex family law litigation.
