Mediation is a process involving a neutral third party who assists a couple in reaching an agreement on divorce related matters. The mediator does NOT make decisions for a couple, but helps focus the conversation. If a couple successfully reaches an agreement, a memorandum of understanding is prepared of the terms, which can then be incorporated into a final marriage settlement agreement and/or custody agreement. This process is private and the timing is controlled by the parties.
1. We can serve as a mediator for you and your spouse. If retained as a mediator, we will not be able to provide you with legal advice specific to your issues. Mediation often works best if both spouses/parents have received legal advice in advance of their first mediation session.

2. We can serve as your attorney as you work through mediation with a mediator outside of our firm. Often, couples involved in the litigation process will try to resolve their issues through mediation prior to resorting to the court system. If an agreement is reached in mediation, we will use the terms set forth in the memorandum of understanding to prepare a final marriage settlement agreement and/or custody agreement on your behalf. If you spouse’s attorney prepares this agreement, we will review the terms prior to the agreement being signed.
