FAQs

How many Mediation sessions will it take?

Couples who are dealing with children and finances usually require 4-5 sessions to reach agreement. Of course this varies based on individual circumstances. Couples without children have fewer issues to resolve and therefore they need fewer sessions. Also, couples that have already reached agreement on a few issues prior to the first mediation session need fewer sessions.

What issues will we discuss in Divorce Mediation?

If you have children, we will discuss Custody, a Parenting Plan, and Child Support. In all cases we will discuss the division of Assets and Debts. In appropriate cases, we will discuss the amount and duration of spousal support.

Do you help people reach agreement on spousal support?

Yes. Spousal support is an issue that gives many divorcing couples difficulty. There is no precise formula that enables couples to quickly and easily obtain the amount and duration of support. I will help you understand customary approaches and the financial impact of various options, and most importantly, help you determine a spousal support plan that addresses your needs and interests.

Do we have to appear in court?

No. If you reach agreement in Mediation on all the issues, you do not have to go to court at any time. Your agreement will be reflected in legal documents filed with the court.

What if my spouse and I are not on good terms?

Sometimes people think they have to be on good terms to come to Mediation. That is not true. Mediation is designed to help people who need help resolving their dispute. People in conflict often hold negative feelings towards each other. In Mediation we are able to help people who feel anger, hurt and mistrust toward each other.
