Divorce Mediation Lake Balboa
Litigation is not the only way to protect the interests of your family in divorce. Often times, courts can be draining, both financially and emotionally, in which case no one wins. Using an experienced divorce mediator can be the answer to a fair and just outcome that leaves everyone walking away feeling like they can move on with their lives.
Generally, divorce mediation is far less costly, adversarial, and faster than a court battle. And, if there are children involved, addressing underlying disputes through mediation can ensure that your family remains intact while property settlements, parental planning, and financial support are civilly agreed upon.
Though a mediator can be and attorney, mediators and attorneys have different roles in divorce. An attorney represents their client’s interest and how they should present their case.
In contrast, a mediator is a neutral party who does not give legal advice nor do they represent either party or either side of a dispute, even if the mediator is an attorney.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Technically, yes. It may not be the best idea. Many of our divorce clients need help completing the process. I applaud do-it-yourselfers, but the court forms have so many little nuances so having professional help from the get-go could prove well worth it in the end.
