Mediation is a non-litigious process geared towards helping you resolve your family dispute without going before a judge.  This voluntary process allows those experiencing dispute to make decisions together based on mutual understanding with the guidance of a neutral third-party mediator.  Mediation is usually less costly  and less time-consuming than litigation, so the mediation process generally leaves the participants in a better position, financially and emotionally, to move forward with their lives post-dispute.

If you and your spouse or partner are capable of sitting down together to discuss difficult and important issues, mediation can be an effective tool to resolve matters peacefully and without court involvement.

Collaboration, or Collaborative Divorce, is a less adversarial approach to the resolution of family law disputes that can help you achieve your family law goals and attain long-term peace between you and your spouse or partner.

Using this process, disputing couples, along with their attorneys and possibly other professionals, work together as a team in an open and respectful manner to resolve the issues related to their family law matter in a mutually acceptable way.  No one has to go to court to finalize the divorce, and the decision regarding the important issues in the dispute are made jointly between the parties — not by a judge.
