COVID-19: The world has changed and is changing every day.  We all continue adjusting to keep ourselves, our loved ones, and our world as safe as possible.  For now I am mostly holding meetings virtually on Zoom for video conferencing that I find a good “second-best” option to meeting together.  There is a “fully vaccinated for COVID” requirement for in-person meetings, including sharing proof of all recommended vaccinations and boosters. 

Mediation is an efficient and cost effective process designed to help individuals move through completing the entire process of divorce or part of the divorce. Mediation is designed to minimize conflict and can be used to complete a divorce in a fraction of the time that would normally be spent in litigation.   Each party retains control and an agreement is reached only when both parties find the terms are acceptable.

Mediation is:

Voluntary

Future-focused

Solution-focused

Confidential

Mediators are neutral professionals. Their role is to help individuals clearly define issues, keep lines of communication open and promote discussion and resolution. Mediators do not make decisions for a couple.  Rather the couple is in charge of making their own decisions about what the future, children’s future and finances.

Some of the issues that mediation addresses are: plans for parenting children, division of property and future financial provisions. Mediation can be done both pre and post divorce decree.

It is possible to come to resolution of conflict in the face of anger, resentment and fear.
