This office offers divorce mediation.

Litigation can become about winning. Mediation is about resolving. Litigation can become uncivilized and undignified, a far cry to the very civil beginning of love and a relationship. Mediation is a voluntary process by which two people in a dispute meet with an impartial third party to arrive at an informed settlement of a dispute. A mediator is a neutral person who does not represent either party, but is a facilitator to assist individuals in reaching an agreement on the terms of their Divorce. A mediator prepares a letter of understanding after every session. The letter of understanding summarizes the extent of any agreements reached after every session. From the letter of understanding, a divorce agreement can easily be drafted.

Generally, with mediation, expenses typically associated with a divorce action are reduced substantially, even when considering the cost to retain the mediator. This is largely due to the fact that during mediation, it is the parties who do much of the hard work in terms of working toward an agreement, which is the most difficult part of the divorce process. Even if the mediation process is subsequently abandoned, typically the agreement parties reached in mediation, is often similar to the final agreement reached after expending untold amount of legal fees, wasting personal energy and time, as well as increasing the hostility and acrimony.
