We take care of your entire case, from beginning to end, including the initial filing for divorce called a Petition, which we approach in a way that lowers conflict. Our mediation meetings are 2 hours long. Typically, anywhere between 2 to 6 meetings are needed to come to full agreements. The entire process usually takes 2 – 4 months. Clients can move at their own pace, taking whatever time they need. Sometimes, for strategic reasons such as tax benefits or healthcare issues, spouses may elect to delay the actual finalization of their divorce. This is in stark contrast to how long divorce litigation takes to conclude. Even a short litigated case in the courts on average takes 8 – 12 months. A year or more is very common. In litigation, there is more conflict, which causes long delays and cases that can continue for years.
