With my experience in law, psychology and business, I help couples fully understand all of the legal, financial, parenting, and other issues involved in their situation. I also help couples communicate, negotiate and explore alternative ways of resolving disagreements, and deal with the anger, sadness and other emotions common in these situations. After a couple has reached full agreement, I draft a comprehensive and legally binding settlement agreement. In mediation, divorcing couples decide what's best for them, rather than surrendering control to attorneys or a judge. They reach agreement based on their particular relationship, needs, and standards.
Mediation is affordable, in fact inexpensive compared to using two separate lawyers.
With my background in psychology, and having four children of my own, I strive to help parents focus on the best interests of their children, presently and in the future. In this way, mediation fosters increased communication and reduced anger between parents, resulting in more cooperative and flexible parenting arrangements. When one spouse is in physical danger, or is unwilling to participate in good faith, mediation would not be an appropriate choice. These agreements often serve as a foundation for resolution of other issues and overall agreement, expediting the mediation, further reducing the cost. It did not surprise me that I have received excellent feedback about his services.
