What We Do
Divorce mediation should be individually tailored to fit the needs and
circumstances of each couple and each family. For this reason we offer
a menu of mediation configurations to support you within the process.
Mediating your matter successfully is much larger than simply achieving
stipulations, Stipulated Judgments of Dissolution, custody agreements,
or other temporary and permanent agreements it includes promoting a tone
of cooperation and civility that survives the end of relationship, and
therefore makes resolutions enduring and honorable. Often such an outcome
seems challenging, particularly early on in the emotionally charged environment
of recent separation. For this reason we encourage parties to consider
utilizing our mental health professional team members even outside of
the mediation hall, to identify and cope with the natural reactivity that
reasonably arises during the process.
