Finding the right mediator is crucial for a good experience. Not all mediators are created equal, nor do they have the same methods to reach a resolution. These questions will help guide you in your mediator consultation to get a better understanding of who they are and how they work.

Just because you have a very strained relationship doesn't mean litigation is your only option. You and your soon-to-be ex do not need to be friendly for mediation to work.

As long as you are able to both come to sessions with a resolution mindset, we can lead you through the process amicably and with less conflict, financial strain, and stress than litigation.

Litigation and mediation share an end goal of divorce, but the routes we take to get there are completely different. Both avenues can facilitate the division of assets and co-parenting plans, but mediation does so in a manner that is amicable and with both of your best interests in mind.

If virtual sessions make sense for you, then they make sense for us! We are always looking for ways to make your mediation process right for you, so if you prefer the comfort of your own home or you are long distance, we are happy to offer Zoom conferences.

This being said, we always prefer to start your first session off in person so we can get the best read on your relationship to move forward. This is beneficial to both parties in the short and long term and will help us give you the best mediation experience possible.

Just because your custody plan was finalized, doesn't mean you can't revisit and revise it! In fact, there are a number of circumstances in which you will be encouraged to do so.

In case you didn't know, even if you completed your divorce through litigation, you can revise your plan through mediation to avoid the high costs, emotional rollercoaster, and long process.

Concern for your child's safety can change everything in a heartbeat, including whether or not mediation is the right avenue for your divorce. Safety is always our #1 priority, so if there is genuine concern, we do recommend starting with litigation to ensure your child's safety.

Is mediation an option for future discussions? Absolutely. But only once parties are able to communicate on common ground.
