Divorce Mediation

I assist divorcing clients in mediating disputes surrounding:

• Child custody and visitation schedules 
• Division of property
• Modification of child support 
• Prenuptial agreements
• Complex business evaluation
• Evaluation of assets
• Debt management 

Mediation can occur even before papers are filed. See information on early option mediation. Click here.

The breakup of a marriage is more traumatic for the children than for the parents. Thus, parents should exercise great care to minimize the emotional toll on children when a separation takes place. When parents separate, decisions regarding the custody and support of the child must be made. If the parents are not able to resolve these issues, the decision will be left to the court. When deciding issues regarding child custody, the courts will consider a number of factors, including the preference of the child, the mental and physical health of the parents, and the relationship between the child, the parents, and siblings.

It is a fact that when parties arrive at their own agreement, without court intervention, the agreements are more likely to be followed with less stress on the children. I work hard to assist divorcing couples to negotiate effective custody arrangements in the best interest of your children. I help families establish custody agreements that recognize and respond to all family relationships. I handle custody matters involving parent’s rights, visitation agreements, and temporary custody and visitation. 

A shared parenting agreement is often the best solution to a custody dispute. The alternative is adversarial divorce litigation over custody, which all too often results in emotional trauma for all parties and in particular, the children.
