Mediation in Family Law

Mediation is one of the most frequently used methods of negotiating a divorce settlement. In divorce mediation, you and your spouse — or, in some cases, the two of you and your respective lawyers — hire a neutral third party, called a mediator, to meet with you in an effort to discuss and resolve the issues in your divorce.

Mediation is an opportunity (sometimes mandatory) to settle your dispute through structured negotiations facilitated by a neutral person – a mediator. A skilled mediator can help the parties resolve their dispute by keeping the focus on the issues rather than digressing to the personal problems they might have between them. A mediator can also identify promising avenues of agreement or compromise and build toward a negotiated agreement. Our role as your attorneys is to help you develop initial and fallback negotiation positions from a legally and factually sound platform. You’ll develop your own goals and objectives for the mediation process based on what can reasonably be achieved. While a favorable settlement through mediated negotiation is a good thing, you shouldn’t feel that you have to resolve the dispute through mediation. A mediator can’t force a settlement. We can help you tell the difference between reasonable and unreasonable proposals, and we won’t push you to take less than what you deserve if your legal position supports a better result.
