Mediation

Cost-effective, self-paced, self-directed resolution with skilled and experienced help.

We know the best settlement is often one you negotiated yourself, but sometimes you need a little expert help to get it done. Divorce mediation fills the gap between talking at the kitchen table and reaching a mutually agreeable settlement that addresses all of your divorce issues, from child custody and parenting time to support and division of assets. One of our experienced mediators can help you and your divorcing spouse to see your options and evaluate your best outcome.

What Are The Steps Of Mediation?

Before entering into mediation, be sure to consult a mediation-friendly review attorney so you have all of the information you need to move forward.

This ensures that you will have a consultant throughout the process to touch base with if you have questions or any problems occur. Your attorney may also accompany you to the mediation sessions. Keith Family Law’s experienced mediation-friendly review attorneys are here to help you through the process.

Next, you want a skilled mediator to help you mutually devise a settlement that you and your divorcing spouse can live with. Keith Family Law’s experienced mediators can get you there.

Once a mediator gets you almost to the finish line, it’s time for a review attorney to take over. A review attorney should fairly and competently fold all of your hard work, generally called a “Memorandum of Understanding,” into a complete and legally enforceable Marital Settlement Agreement. If the MOU comes back with significant flaws, it will be necessary to contact your attorney to sort them out through a renegotiation of the terms.

After you have your “Marital Settlement Agreement,” you will need a skilled attorney to get you in and out of court for your uncontested Divorce, and on your way to your new life!
