                                  Mediation

When the right circumstances exist, the parties jointly can hire a mediator to
confidentially meet and discuss their respective rights and obligations.
Mediation is also court-ordered in many cases regarding visitation or custody
issues. If there is enough cooperation between the parties at the mediation, a
resolution can be worked out that is acceptable to both parents. That resolution
can then be the basis for an agreed case.

For agreed cases, while we can only represent one party, our office can then
be hired to draft agreement worked out at mediation and process the
paperwork to a final judgement dissolving the marriage. Our experience is that
spouses that have an agreed or uncontested divorce generally have less
problems after the divorce and with less stress on the children. Spouses that
have long, highly contested cases generally continue to fight even after the
divorce. These are divorces that never end.

Mediators are experienced family law attorneys and sometimes former judges
with decades of experience. The best mediators usually have over 15 years of
courtroom experience and are able to give each spouse fairly good idea of
what to expect if the matter is litigated.

Once you have a good idea of what a likely court result would be, an agreed
case becomes possible. Again, while we only work directly with one spouse,
the process can be completed with the use of a single attorney in many
instances and in far less time and for far less costs than traditional litigation.
