Coaching, Mediation and Settlement Consultation Services

PINK Legal has an experienced professional on staff to help with Divorce/Family Law Coaching, Mediation and Settlement Consultation Services. We act as an impartial third party to your matter. We help lay out the facts and come up with various options while also using our experience with legal procedures to give you a picture of how each possibility could play out. With all the information and experienced input, you are given the power to make a more well-informed agreement that makes sure everyone is treated equally.

  • Coaching – Work one-on-one to answer questions, clear up confusion and help draft your agreement.
    • NOTE: This gives the client a safe space to discuss options, understand the process and try to formulate a fair and reasonable agreement/ideas to propose to the other party.
  • Mediation – Work with “both” parties to answer questions and come to a fair and reasonable agreement of the issues (property divisions, custody, support issues, etc.). A signed “Agreement to Mediate” required.
    • NOTE: This option is typically when the parties are at odds.
  • Settlement Discussion – review clients and/or parties’ agreement terms and discuss language, options, suggestions, etc. to help come up with a final version of the agreement.
    • NOTE: This option is often when parties are working together cooperatively.

Divorce Mediation FAQ

How long will my divorce take?

A minimum of 6 months from when your spouse receives a court filed copy of the initial divorce documents. That said, timing depends on many factors, including if your matter is agreeable or not. Having professional help is critical as the court forms and entire process is complicated to manage.

How much does a divorce cost?

An average divorce in California costs $17,500. Hiring a legal document preparation professional, including having the option of divorce coaching and mediation, can significantly reduce that cost.

Do I have to go to divorce court?

No. If your matter is agreeable or uncontested, and have legal help, you will never see the inside of a courtroom.

Do I need an attorney to file for divorce?

No. A competent legal document assistant, with the option of coaching and mediation, is likely all you need. If legal advice becomes necessary, attorney input can be sought.

Are all legal document services and mediators the same?

No. Just like all attorneys are not the same, this goes for document assistants and mediators. It is best to hire someone you feel comfortable with and trust, so do your homework upfront and choose wisely as it can make a difference.

How is custody, visitation and child/spousal support decided?

No family situation is identical. There are a variety of aspects to be considered. The process of establishing custody, visitation, and child/spousal support can be made easier or remain difficult. If you and your spouse are not able to come to an agreement together, bringing in a coach and/or mediator to assist can prove valuable. There are many creative ways to come up with an agreement which are often unaware of by the parties and available in the legal professional’s toolbox.
