Divorce Mediation, and my experience as a Divorce Mediator offers you:


  • A far more Cost Effective option for Divorce
  • A collaborative approach to transition
  • The opportunity for you both to move forward well and maintain a positive relationship for the sake of your children
  • Less sleepless nights
  • Help at communicating more effectively and keep priorities focused, as you restructure your family
  • Tools to navigate the emotional and psychological process of Divorce 
  • Education regarding common practices and expectations, including the developmental needs of children through divorce
  • Help to avoid the adversarial approach in litigation which pits you against one another - and where posturing and positioning matter most (nobody wins and the damage can be life altering)
  • Help for you to become allies not enemies, or at the very least working partners (even in the most highly conflictual dissolution)
  • Help at keeping your assets with you and not eaten up in lengthy and expensive court battles
  • Confidential divorce support with compassion and understanding

                         

 I am a Mediator acting as a neutral third party working with you to communicate effectively and cooperatively together, at reaching a voluntary agreement. Mediation is not the practice of law. You have the right to seek the advice of independent legal counsel throughout the mediation process and  before you sign your agreement.


Divorce Mediation is far less costly to you and your family financially (in legal costs), emotionally, psychologically, and puts the control and decision making in YOUR HANDS. Let me guide through a process of Mediation to the benefit of YOU, and not lawyers in an adversarial and often brutal system. It's not necessary. Mediate, don't litigate. At the very least, give it a try. Call me and let's talk!
