Divorce Mediation Services

South Bend Attorney Provides Effective Divorce Mediation Services

Experienced Indiana lawyer works to facilitate agreement

Divorce and litigation are stressful processes. Combining the two can seem overwhelming for spouses and their children. Fortunately, an effective option exists for Indiana individuals who want to avoid courtroom stress when their marriage ends. I deliver professional mediation services during divorces and other family law matters. Using the knowledge I’ve gained as a Indiana lawyer, I offer comprehensive guidance through this alternative dispute resolution process to help parties settle issues such as custody, child support, alimony and property division.

Certified neutral mediator saves divorcing spouses time and money

Whether you’re close to a marital settlement agreement or far apart on divorce terms, a certified mediator helps you dissolve your marriage while avoiding unnecessary problems. There are significant advantages to the mediation process, including:

  • Control. Instead of working on the court’s schedule and dealing with their procedural requirements, spouses decide when to talk and what needs to be discussed.
  • Cost savings. Litigation costs can mount at a frightening speed, potentially causing financial problems that last long after the marriage has concluded. During mediation, parties can limit what they spend.
  • Privacy and stress relief. A public courtroom is an uncomfortable place to discuss the personal issues often associated with divorce. As a mediator, I allow clients to speak openly in a private, dignified setting.

Many states have recognized how useful mediation is when a married couple breaks up, so they require mandatory divorce mediation. Whether you’re seeking assistance on your own or at the court’s behest, I have the experience and knowledge to provide valuable support.

Dedicated firm outlines the divorce mediation process

I have a deep background in family law that gives me the ability to find equitable solutions to the trickiest disagreements. Though I am a neutral third party who is not permitted to provide legal counsel, my unbiased approach helps everyone better understand the key legal issues. I work diligently to ensure that consensus is reached so that both spouses can move forward, confident that the outcome meets their needs.
