Valencia Mediation Lawyer

Obtaining Divorce Through Mediation

Mediation is a valuable tool in the dissolution process. There are several ways the mediation process can be accomplished, based upon your individual situation. Once you meet with an attorney at Barnholtz & Kugler, and we learn about your individual situation, we will provide you with the different options that would be best for you.

The Mediation Process

The overview of the mediation process will entail resolving all of the issues that must be agreed upon between you and your spouse, with the help of the mediator.

The typical items that need to be agreed to, through agreement and compromise include:

• Child custody (both legal and physical)
• Creating a comprehensive parenting plan in order to have each parent know their rights and obligations, thereby avoiding future conflicts
• Child support
• Spousal support
• Division of assets, including real estate, bank accounts, investment accounts, retirement accounts, life insurance, and personal property
• Division of debts, including mortgages, automobile loans, personal loans, student loans, and credit card debt

Having the right mediator is key to being able to accomplish resolving the issues in a manner that each party is comfortable with. At Barnholtz & Kugler, we have extensive experience with successfully mediating dissolution cases. Mediation can also be less expensive then a typical litigation scenario, where both parties hire their own attorney and each issue is resolved with court intervention. A successful mediation can allow quick resolution, avoid the need for either party to appear in court, reduce antagonism between the parties, and reduce the cost of the typical divorce process.
