“We used Rich Gordon for our divorce and he did a terrific job helping us through everything. We had some tricky hurdles to get over with the property dispute but everything got sorted out, and thank god we didn’t have to go to court. He’s a great resource for divorce help!” Carolyn P, North Park
Common Divorce Mediation Issues to Resolve
When couples are starting the divorce process, there are a wide variety of issues that need to be worked out. Each couple’s situation is different. With some cases, children are involved, and in others, the couple simply wants to part ways and move on with their lives. In some cases, even pets need to be discussed!
Property Division
Child Support and Divorce
Military Divorce
Same Sex Divorce
Pets
And much more!
What sets us apart is not only our experience, but that we offer a no-cost consultation to understand the issues you face, and also allow you the time to answer any questions that you may have. In certain cases mediation may not be the right fit for you, and in others there have been situations after mediation that couples have been able to work things out. The whole point is “communication”, each side wants to be heard which is why we make it clear we don’t take sides.
A lawyer's hands are tied in many situations. But, a mediator is able to ensure that all issues are settled in a manner in which both parties are satisfied. With Sharon's background, you will feel confident that your mediation settlement is drafted with clear and unambiguous language that will stand up in court, if needed.
Why Couples Turn to Mediation
Encourages Communication
Unlike traditional divorce proceedings that can create further conflict, mediation encourages open dialogue between the spouses. By providing a supportive environment, the San Diego divorce mediation team at A Fair Way Mediation promotes effective communication allowing both parties to express their concerns and needs in a positive manner. This approach helps couples maintain a peaceful relationship, even more so when children are involved. Your San Diego divorce mediator will act as a neutral 3rd part to help sort through the issues that need to be discussed and agreed upon, giving plenty of time for each side to express their goals and work to a solution. Oftentimes with litigation, couples end up having to communicate directly with their respective lawyers which can increase the amount of time to complete the divorce and lose the ability to convey their thoughts and needs accurately to the other spouse.
Decision-Making Power
Mediation also gives couples more control over the decisions that will impact their futures. Rather than having to rely on a judge to make a final determination that will dictate your future, mediation allows couples to participate in negotiations to reach mutually agreed upon solutions. This level of control reduces the feeling of helplessnes and leads to greater satisfaction with the final settlement. Most marriages have issues that couples specifically understand for themselves, and it's difficult to have to present a case in front of a judge who does not fully understand the intricacies of your marriage and that will ultimately decide your fate based information that is provided by the respective lawyers.
