DIVORCE MEDIATION
Making the decision to divorce can be daunting, painful, and life changing for couples and their families. Over 50% of marriages in the US end in divorce. Divorce is associated with depression, financial hardship, loss of partner, hopes, dreams, and lifestyle.
Research shows that divorcing couples who mediate the terms of divorce have longer lasting settlements which better protects the interests of their children than those imposed by the court.
​
I help couples:
-
Mediate conditions and terms of divorce, including custody and visitation
-
Educate about legal and emotional aspects of the divorce process
-
Prepare a memorandum of the proposed terms of the agreement to present to attorneys/court
-
Less costly than a traditional divorce process
