Our court-approved mediators come from backgrounds in social services and financial services, bringing a unique perspective to your case. By choosing our services, you can navigate divorce, custody, and other family court matters more affordably, as our mediators are not attorneys and focus on keeping costs down. Let's help you find a resolution that works for you.
Why Mediate versus going to Court
Mediation empowers you to take control of your decisions. Instead of leaving important matters, like custody and finances, in the hands of a judge, you can negotiate terms that work for both parties. This process fosters collaboration and helps that everyone's interests are considered. With mediation, you can navigate your divorce on your own terms.
Mediation proved to be a smart choice for us. Instead of facing a lengthy court battle that could have cost over $15,000 and left us both dissatisfied with a judge's decision, we found common ground with the help of a mediator. After a few sessions, we successfully agreed on custody arrangements that worked for both of us. Best of all, we accomplished this for under $4,000, allowing us to retain what mattered most.
The judge sent us to mediation. He told us that if he had to make decisions about our kids, our house and money that my husband and I would both be unhappy and legally required to follow the ruling. The judge said "I know the least about your family and your schedules. You all know the most. Why do you want me to decide when you all get to see your kids or what needs to happen with the checking account".
We went to mediation and the two of us came to our own agreement. It's not easy. But we did it, it was our terms and decisions and while not easy it was the best outcome for the kids that we work together.
Our divorce was going to be an expensive process, exceeding $8,000, but it didn't have to be. If you and your spouse can communicate and cooperate, mediation can be a cost-effective alternative. Just $1,200, a skilled mediator helped us navigate our discussions, both sides were heard. Through compromise and understanding, we reached agreements that allowed us to move forward in our lives without incurring massive legal bills.
