Divorce Mediation Services

Divorce, Custody, Legal Decision-Making, and Parenting Time Mediation 

Going to court is helpful if the parties have genuine disputes that they cannot work out between themselves. However, if the parties can make agreements, that is always better than a judge making a decision. Remember, in mediation, you can agree to resolve your disputes in ways that a judge might not allow. Keep in mind, if you do not agree, you will have a trial, which will likely be less than one day, for the judge to decide what will happen with your children and property. 

Perhaps you should consider mediation.
