You will meet with the attorney-mediator and your spouse in working sessions. On average, parties need 6 sessions. The attorney-mediator will help you understand the law and provide you options for property division, parenting and child and spousal support. Using that information, the attorney-mediator will guide you to an agreement. We are looking for results that you understand and work for you, each other, and your family - both today and for your future.
We work with you to complete the required steps for a California divorce. This includes completing and exchanging your financial disclosures. We use these disclosures to help us reach the agreement.
We will put your agreements together in a final agreement, known as an Marital Settlement Agreement. We submit this to court to become your divorce judgment. You won't have to go to court. Most of our parties finish in less than 6 months.
We simplify even the most complex divorce cases with a step-by-step process that’s easy to follow. No confusion, no stress.
Our proven mediation approach is designed to resolve your divorce in half the time of a traditional court battle without sacrificing clarity or fairness.
We handle every step from start to finish, ensuring your final agreement is fully enforceable and court ready. No loose ends.
