Mediation in a California Divorce

While some divorces may have fewer issues to handle before they can be finalized, almost every divorce can be said to be a complicated matter due to the importance it has to the parties involved. Every decision you make in regards to dissolving your marriage, whether it concerns who will remain in the family home, who will keep the family pet, or how child custody and visitation will be arranged, can impact your life for many years to come. That is why these issues must be decided with an understanding of their ramifications. It also underscores the importance of having control over how these issues will be determined as opposed to being dictated to by a family court judge. That is why mediation is one of the best options for couples who can agree to cooperate in hammering out a marital settlement agreement.

Mediation can be used to create the terms for a full legal divorce, a legal separation, a temporary separation, a premarital or postnuptial agreement, a domestic partner agreement, a cohabitation agreement, a parenting plan for child custody, for child support or spousal support, for relocation of a divorced parent with children, for post-divorce modifications of court orders, the division of marital property and debts, and any other family law issue. Handling your divorce or family law matter through mediation keeps you out of the courtroom, avoiding the stress of such an adversarial legal process along with its expense and loss of control over the decisions that will affect your life well into the future. In mediation, you can discuss major issues along with minor details that might not be applicable to the courtroom while still retaining legal counsel from an attorney who can ensure that you understand all of the legal consequences involved.
