Divorce:Information & Solutions
Research shows that it is not the divorce that hurts children, it is the intensity and amount of conflict between their parents throughout the process. Take control of your future, and your children's through mediation.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is privately guided decision making, away from courtroom pressures.
To achieve a fair settlement of all issues for a divorce or separation, a mediator-lawyer helps both sides to resolve all problems in a comfortable setting, and in an informed and consensual manner.
We offer a consultation at no cost to explain the mediation process, the cost, and to help you decide if mediation is the most effective way for you to terminate your relationship.
- We also assist unmarried parents and domestic partnerships.
- Decisions are your own for parenting of the children, allocation of assets and liabilities, spousal and child support.
- Decisions will be based on full disclosure of all property, assets, debts and earnings.
- Valuations are made of all assets such as pensions, businesses, or real estate.
- A complete and written understanding by both parties of all necessary facts is the result and the basis for a judgment to be filed with the court.
Specialized Training
Competent mediation requires specialized training. In addition to many years of continuing education workshops and seminars with the Southern Calilfornia Mediation Association, I have had:
- LA County Bar Association Dispute Resolution Services
- Forrest Mosten's Advanced Divorce and Family Mediation Training
- Advanced Business and Commercial Mediator Training (LA Bar DRS)
- Advanced Arts and Entertainment Mediation Training with the California Lawyers
for the Arts - Domestic Violence Training withthe OC Family Violence Council
"In mediation, Judith was great helping us deal with our hostility. We could focus on what we had to settle and get on with our separate lives. No lingering resentments."
