The Mediation Process: A Better Alternative to Court
Steps to Achieving Divorce Resolutions
STEP 1: Initial Call/Consultation
During your initial call/consultation, we will explain how divorce mediation works at our office and outline what you can expect.
This meeting is your opportunity to provide general information about your situation and identify the important issues that need to be resolved.
STEP 2: Scheduling Your Consultation
Once we’ve established that we can assist you and both parties have agreed to use our services. We can schedule mediation either in-person or by video conference.
In both cases parties will typically be in separate rooms and Laura Shapiro will go between the room helping negotiate an agreement.
STEP 3: Attending Mediation
Our mediator will guide you through each outstanding issue as you work toward your divorce settlement.
Whether it’s property division and child custody arrangements or child support and spousal maintenance. You’ll be guided step-by-step to resolve all issues.
STEP 4: Written Agreement
Once issues are resolved, we’ll help draft a settlement agreement called a Memorandum of Understanding, which outlines the terms.
This agreement, once accepted by the court, becomes an enforceable agreement and part of the public record.
Why Mediation Works Better Than Court
Mediation offers a more streamlined and confidential approach to resolving divorce cases compared to traditional divorce litigation.
It is confidential in the sense that everything said and exchanged during mediation remains out of the public record.
Avoid the Stress of Divorce Litigation
Mediation is particularly beneficial for those who wish to avoid the stress and adversarial nature of divorce litigation.
Court hearings can often exacerbate tensions between family members, leading to a more contentious divorce process.
Mediation is a Healthier Choice
In contrast, mediation focuses on collaboration and finding solutions that work for both parties.
This approach helps reduce conflicts, including those related to domestic violence, and provides a more peaceful path forward.
About Those Complex Financial Issues
Our mediation services also address financial matters such as dividing real estate assets, business assets, managing retirement accounts, and planning for future financial stability.
By resolving these issues efficiently and cooperatively, you can move forward with confidence and clarity.
