Compassionate Divorce Mediation Services
Divorce or separation can be one of the most difficult experiences that you and your family go through.
As your divorce mediation mediator, I'm here to help you keep your private lives out of court with divorce or parenting mediation.
We will work together to find mutually agreeable solutions, including the division of all assets and debts, as well as a parenting plan and support agreement if needed.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a neutral process that allows you and your spouse (or co-parent) to keep your separation process and family outside of the court. Your mediator helps you and your spouse reach agreements on all issues, including divisions of all assets and debts, a parenting plan (if you have minor children), as well as any potential support agreements, such as child support or spousal maintenance. Your process in mediation is lower conflict and cost, with a shorter timeline, than going through litigation in court.
Why Mediate?
Self-Determination
Mediation allows you and your partner to reach mutually beneficial agreements rather than a judge making decisions for you.
Lower Cost
Lower cost process, with one flat fee rather than retainer+hourly fees with attorneys. Mediation is typically 85% less expensive than hiring attorneys.
Out of Court & Confidential
Mediation protects families from the conflict of litigation (going to court). It prevents you from having to go to court at all and keeps your process confidential / private.
Shorter Process
In Arizona, a divorce in court typically takes 8 months to over a year. In mediation, your process is typically 3-5 months in length. You have more control over your timeline.
Personalized
Personalized to your family's needs rather than a general "cookie-cutter" agreement. Your family is unique and your agreements should be too.
Accessible
Mediation can occur in-person or online. It allows you to reach your agreements from the comfort of your home via Zoom or in my office, rather than in a courtroom.
