When spouses contemplating divorce are willing and able to sit down and rationally discuss important issues, mediation can be a powerful tool to avoid the time, expense and acrimony that are sometimes inevitable in divorce litigation.  With mediation, the settlement is tailored to your individual case. You determine how decisions are made and the outcome, not a judge. Mediation can resolve your situation with an agreement that takes care of your individual situation and needs. In addition, anything said or written in mediation is confidential, the only information that becomes public is the agreement that is reached.
