SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

MEDIATION is a process between an attorney-mediator or neutral third party and individuals working to help them move toward a mutually acceptable resolution. Any type of family law case may be mediated such as disagreements over custody, parenting time, child support, spousal support, allocation of debt, or the distribution of assets.

COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE is an alternative to litigation in which parties obtain a divorce with the assistance of their lawyers and other professionals without going to court. Collaborative practice provides you and your spouse or partner a team of professionals to support and guide you through the divorce process.

NEGOTIATION can be:

Between the Attorneys

Only one party has an attorney: The parties will negotiate amongst themselves. The attorney then drafts the agreement representing the parties’ decisions in negotiations.

Both parties have attorneys: The attorneys work together, through settlement negotiations, to reach amicable decisions without ever meeting in a courtroom.

Between the Parties

The parties can negotiate on their own or with the assistance of attorneys or a third party. The attorney can then prepare an agreement representing the parties’ decisions.

COVID NOTICE: Consultations and meetings are done virtually and in-person with those who are fully vaccinated.
