Mediation
A Cooperative Approach to Divorce
Mediation provides a positive and productive alternative to the traditional adversarial court process, including the option of avoiding Court altogether with Divorce by Affidavit. The goal of mediation is for a neutral lawyer as a mediator to jointly assist a couple in reaching agreements that meet the needs of the family without the financial and emotional costs of court conflict or risks of doing it yourself.
At Hansen & Hildebrand, our skilled mediators educate the participants and guide them in making their own decisions. The mediator provides a private and confidential process that keeps the parties in control of some of life’s most important questions.
Benefits of Mediation
Hiring one of our trained mediators instead of two lawyers can reduce conflict and cost by assisting couples in gathering all information needed, discussing options for resolution, and drafting the legal documents necessary to file and complete the divorce process. Mediation can involve other neutral professionals, such as child specialists to assist with co-parenting plans or financial neutrals regarding complex economic issues, as needed. Working with a registered lawyer-mediator can also provide you and your spouse the option to proceed with a Divorce by Affidavit, which could eliminate the need for any Court appearances. Your lawyer-mediator can help explain and explore this option with you and your spouse.
