DIVORCE BY MEDIATION:

A LESS PAINFUL PATH

Divorce mediation is an active process in
which a married couple, meeting with a
divorce mediator, identifies and settles
all the issues that need to be covered in
their divorce. The result is a "Memorandum
of Understanding" which can be presented
to an attorney who will develop it into a
formal separation agreement.

Your mediator will help you determine
what it costs to live apart and, using
that information together with the
current income, help you determine
the amount and duration of support.
We will show you how the State Child
Support Guidelines apply to your situation.

We will help you identify all of your
marital assets, figure out their value,
and help you divide them fairly.

We will also help you make all of the
future parenting decisions.

Mediation is conducted so that there
should be no loses - one spouse should
not win at the expense of the other.
Mediation lessens the hurt, the anger,
and the frustration that usually accom-
any these negotiations.

Divorce by Mediation is a nonadversarial
process helping people negotiate directly
and dissolve marriages once the decision
to divorce or separate is made. We provide
you with the opportunity to negotiate
mutually beneficial terms in total privacy.

Divorce by Mediation helps identify key
issues concerning the division of personal
and real properly, support, parenting, and
plans for the future. It helps eliminate
the painful win-lose atmosphere that is
part of all adversarial divorces. The
process is a mutual search for a reasonable
solution; neither partner can win at the
other's expense. Resolutions must emerge
from the process with a settlement created
and accepted by both. Mediation can also
deal with specific limited issues such as
times of access, what to do with the house,
or other issues specified by you at the start.
