Keep in mind a divorce mediator is neutral and doesn't "work" for either parent. That means the mediator cannot give advice to either party.

 

They must remain “neutral” no matter what the situation.

 

The job of the mediator can assist the divorcing couple in formulating ideas that can eventually lead to agreements that will stand the test of time. That open and free exchange of information frees up both spouses to negotiate with each other in confidence.

You maybe asking yourself is divorce mediation necessary?

 

The answer to that is easier than you’d imagine. You see divorces can be very costly and emotionally taxing on both parties as well as on the family. By consulting with a [LOCATION] divorce lawyer to handle the divorce mediation process you have the opportunity to settle your divorce through a civil counseled conference to discuss the terms of your divorce rather than litigation. By way of mediation this can save both of you the potential backlash that can come with divorces.

 

At [CLIENT] we always ask if spouses would consider divorce mediation as an option to see if they would consider a method to speak their mind for what they want and need. This process is usually meant for couples that can handle the process in a mature and civil manner.

 

Couples with children we believe would benefit the most from this process since they will need to communicate with another after the divorce is finalized. Divorce mediation can be a great first step in establishing good post divorce communication.

 

If for any reason a settlement cannot be reached prior to entering the court system then it will be up to your attorney to present your case in front of a judge. At the conclusion of your case the judge will decide on the division of marital assets or sometimes referred to as marital property in a way that they feel is fair given the details of your case.

If you acquired any part of your pension, 401(k) plan, stock plan, stock options, deferred compensation and other retirement incentives during the marriage, that portion is marital property and must be shared with your spouse when you divorce. You may be able to trade other assets or come to an agreement if you want to keep your pension or retirement intact.

 

Essentially anything purchased during the time of marriage is potentially deemed a martial asset even if that purchase is under one party’s name.
