“Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be.”

Why Choose Mediation?

Divorce mediation provides a safe, impartial and respectful forum that empowers both of you to openly discuss your unique circumstances, needs, and concerns; to ask questions; to consider creative options; and to develop a settlement agreement that both of you agree is fair and reasonable. You--not attorneys, court personnel or judges--are in control of the process.

The mediator remains strictly impartial, favoring neither party while ensuring that both parties are treated fairly. As an added safeguard, you are encouraged to have an attorney review your final settlement agreement before you sign it.

Mediation focuses on solutions, not problems, on cooperation rather than conflict therefore, mediation is more private and flexible--and less stressful, less time-consuming, and less expensive--than the other divorce options.
