What is Divorce Mediation?
Divorce can be a time of change, growth, and adjustment. Or it can be a time of fighting and bitter conflict. The focus of mediation is on empowerment and recognition not conflict and litigation. The mediation process puts you in charge of creating a fair settlement which will allow you to go on with your life with your dignity and respect intact. A mediator can help you work out visitation, property division, child support, and alimony issues.
