Divorce Mediation

Many people have heard of divorce mediation but may not know exactly what it is.  Simply put, divorce mediation is a negotiation between divorcing spouses that is facilitated by a neutral third party who does not have any decision making authority.  In other words, the mediator is someone who helps two participants reach their own divorce agreement but will not make their decision for them.  Divorce mediation is completely voluntary, which means that anyone can leave for any time or any reason (or no reason at all).  Divorce mediation is a "process option" for accomplishing your divorce, just like traditional litigation is an option.

Forrest Collins offers divorce mediation and custody mediation, as well as mediation to modify past judgments. Spousal support, child support, custody and parenting time are all subject to modification. Mediation works well in modification cases because modifications are often limited in scope (with the exception of custody modification). A mediated modification will cost much less and take far less time than a modification case that goes to trial.

The Kitchen Table approach to divorce mediation may be appropriate for people who have created the general structure of their agreement but just need help finishing up the details.
