Mediation In the News


Divorce Mediation

Divorce is difficult, stressful and among the most disruptive events that can occur in your life. Mediation helps couples to work together to retain control over their lives and their future - rather than leaving it in the hands of a judge.

In mediation, decisions can be made regarding division of property, parenting arrangements, child support, spousal maintenance and ways to avoid future problems and improve communication. This is especially important when children are involved. Mediation helps couples separate their spousal role, which is ending, from their parental role, which is continuing.

"We need to consider moving some cases from trial by battle in the courtroom, to mediation. Divorce, child custody are prime candidates."
Hon. Warren E. Burger
Former Chief Justice, U.S. Supreme Court
