A structured, respectful process that keeps the decisions with the two of you — and keeps your family out of the courtroom.
How mediation works
Each spouse voices their concerns and needs on every topic — division of marital property, co-parenting, child support, spousal support. Your mediator keeps the conversation balanced and grounded, ensures you understand each other's needs, and guides you to an agreement that works for both of you.
It's intended for spouses who can work together through this transition — even when trust is strained or certain conversations are tense.
Mediation, explained in two minutes.
Is mediation right for you?
Mediation works when both of you:
- Are willing to collaborate and compromise.
- Want to keep the decisions — not hand them to a judge.
- Are open to disclosing accurate information, including finances.
- Put your children's well-being first and want to minimize disruption for them.
- Prefer a private process over a public court record.
- Want to save money and time so you can both move on.
Not the right fit? Relationship mediation can help avoid divorce altogether, and collaborative divorce gives each of you an attorney while still keeping you out of court.
