The Process and the result

You can arrange sessions from 1 to 2 hrs and we offer flexible hours including weekends and evenings.  For some couples the only area that needs to be covered is equitable distribution.  Other couples will need to mediate all four major areas.  Since mediation is a facilitation of self determination your individual circumstances determine the speed and the range of what needs to be mediated.  If children are involved we like to start with them and work out a parenting schedule.

In the first meeting we determine the road map to navigate your particular circumstances.  You will leave with  forms to take home and fill out and a list of thing to bring in like tax returns, bank accts and credit card statements.  Full disclosure is essential to a fair resolution.  The legitimacy of any agreement either mediated or litigated, is undermined if one party fails to disclose a significant asset.  Cases tried in court are on the public record, the discovery process is exhaustive and a judge is obliged to report undeclared income.  In mediation whatever is disclosed is confidential and furthermore nothing said nor any offer made during the process can be used if you decide to terminate the mediation and switch to litigation.
