Getting divorced is one of the most difficult life challenges that you may face. Instead of choosing the destruction of attorney-driven litigation, couples have the option of resolving their case in a more civilized manner. Mediation focuses on constructive resolution of divorce issues and allows people to maintain control over the outcome, retain their privacy, and stay out of court.

We work with our clients to educate them on the issues that need to be resolved in their divorce, and help them negotiate a fair settlement, as well as provide emotional support along the way. In the end, your divorce will be more efficient and child focused.

Our all-inclusive, flat-fee divorce mediation services enable client couples to complete all of the steps to divorce peacefully, cost-effectively, and without lawyers if they choose.
