Our Divorce Mediation Process

Initial phone conversation

Before scheduling the first mediation session, an Accredited Family Mediator will engage each of you, separately, by telephone. This initial conversation is an opportunity to obtain basic information about your unique situation and to answer any questions you may have. There is no charge for this phone consultation.

Step 2

Consultation/Intake

Next, we will meet separately with each person for approximately one hour to further detail the mediation process . We’ll get a better understanding of your unique situation and concerns, and you’ll get a an understanding of how mediation can help you. For your convenience, this step may be performed through video conference.

Step 3

Guided Mediations

The parties then participate together in one or more guided meditations, depending on the complexity of the issues to be resolved. The goal of the guided sessions is to work toward a resolution of the issues to the satisfaction of each person, leading to a fair Separation Agreement. An interim summary report will be provided after each two-hour mediation session.

Step 4

Completion

To complete the mediation process, we provide a report summarizing the issues resolved in your fair Separation Agreement. It is suggested you follow up with independent legal advice to confirm the agreement for the court.
