Reaching Solutions Through Counseled Mediation™
Many couples will find that working with the mediator will be all they need to reach a settlement and to have the mediator draw up the written settlement agreement. However, for more complex cases we recommend using Counseled Mediation™, our process for working together with lawyers, financial planners and mental health professionals to find divorce solutions. Counseled Mediation™ incorporates the benefits of the collaborative law process without requiring your lawyer, if you choose to hire one, to withdraw from the case if you don’t settle.
