Divorce Mediation Services
Divorce Mediation offers a collaborative alternative to a contentious divorce if the spouses are amicable enough to pursue a process that will consider each spouses goals in a non-advesarial manner. Divorce mediation is a voluntary process by which divorcing couples work with a mediator to ascertain their individual needs and those of their children and work toward a fair and equitable divorce agreement in the best interests of their family. This alternative not only spares the family the immense stress of a divorce but avoids untimely and unnecessary liquidation of family assets.
Divorce Mediation Considerations
When one or both parties to a marriage consider divorce heightened emotions are often such that collectively negotiating a amicable settlement seems impossible. But if you can objectively ask yourself questions about your spouse mediation can be beneficial to both of you:
- Can both spouses overcome any animostiy to see mediation through?
- Has your spouse hidden assets or lied about property or finances?
- Is your spouse a good parent?
If none of the above are insurmountable an attorney with extensive experience with financial matters, support and custody issues can guide you through the process and make sure every eventuality is considered. With the right counsel you can be assured the all property is considered and properly classified, that any agreement to dispose of property in the future as part of the settlement is enforceable, that spousal support or property settlement substitutes for support will be acceptable to the court. And an experienced family law attorney will be able to negotiate disputed matters that are sure to arise to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. Contact Elizabeth F. Courtney.
