Kitchen Table Divorce Mediation
Many divorcing couples will figure out the general framework of their agreement but want help filling in the details and “making it legal.” If this sounds familiar, the Kitchen Table approach to divorce mediation might be what you are looking for.
In Kitchen Table divorce mediation the clients come in and inform the divorce mediator of the structure of their agreement. The mediator will help the clients with the last big issue or two, and then help them consider the details or smaller issues they may not have thought about (who claims the children for tax purposes, what is the legal description of the real property, etc.). After this meeting the mediator will draft all necessary paperwork and send it to the clients for review.
There may be one or two follow up meetings if necessary (or none at all thanks to email), but by definition Kitchen Table divorce mediation will take less time and fewer meetings than full mediation. It might be helpful to think of Kitchen Table mediation as "mediation light."
