Guiding You Through Alternative Dispute Resolution
Filing for divorce or seeking enforcement of child support orders can be challenging. Because of conflict between spouses and long waits for court dates, a family law dispute can be a long, emotionally draining experience. Taking a case to trial is also an excellent way to drain your bank account.

We have extensive experience in both litigation and and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures such as mediation. You can count on our entire legal team to protect your rights and provide the honest legal counsel you seek.
Is An Out-Of-Court Settlement Right For You?
Many clients prefer to settle their disputes out of court. Mediation is considered an alternative dispute resolution process where an impartial or neutral mediator helps guide you and your spouse in settlement efforts – hopefully helping you reach a final agreement. Unlike judges, a mediator has no authority to make decisions for you or your spouse. Their job is to keep you and your spouse’s focus on your needs and interests instead of fault and rights.
When a couple begins divorce mediation, they either choose the mediator in advance or one may be appointed by the court, with the court deciding how to split the costs. Both spouses provide documentation to support their viewpoint regarding disputed issues, while the mediator works with both sides to find a resolution. If both attorneys are present for mediation, the mediator may speak with one spouse and their attorney privately and then the other spouse with their attorney.
