How Our Mediation Process Works

  • 1 Initial Free Consultation The process begins with a free, no-obligation meeting (often via phone or Zoom). This session helps both spouses understand the mediation process, clarify goals, and decide if it’s the right path forward.
  • 2 Mediation with a Neutral Professional A neutral mediator guides the couple through structured sessions. Key issues are addressed: property division, parenting plans, financial arrangements, support, and more. The mediator ensures both parties are heard and helps build practical, fair agreements.
  • 3 Reaching an agreement Once mutual decisions are reached, the mediator creates a written summary (commonly called a Memorandum of Understanding). This document outlines all agreed terms and can be reviewed by attorneys before filing with the court.

It’s great to have a local partner that I can trust and one that truly cares about the clients experience.
