Riverside Mediation Attorney
Mediation Services for Riverside Divorce
If you and your spouse are contemplating a legal separation or have decided to get a divorce, a mediator could be immensely useful for helping you avoid court intervention. In addition to helping you work out the logistics of the divorce, such as child custody, property division, and spousal support, a Riverside divorce attorney from our firm can provide you with a template for effective and calm communication that is often used by our clients as a model in future interactions.
Mediation is not right for every couple. Each spouse has to be willing to be honest, open, and communicative. In situations where spouses are planning on having regular contact after the divorce, whether because of children or because they wish to remain amicable, a mediated divorce may be the best option.
Mediation allows a couple to determine their own future. U nlike in a contested divorce where a judge makes the decisions and the parties are legally bound to abide by the divorce settlement, in a mediated divorce the ex-spouses will agree on the terms of the divorce before signing an agreement. The mediator does not make any of the decisions, but gives the information necessary and facilitates candid and effective communication. It is possible to bring in a specialist to help resolve com plex custody or financial issues, such as in a high net worth divorce. A mediator can also be helpful when arranging modifications to existing agreements or court orders such as for child support or visitation.
