La Quinta Divorce Mediator
A Fair Way Mediation has over 3 decades of experience helping couples get through the divorce complex process and complex issues that couples usually have trouble sorting out. We are a neutral 3rd party and want to make sure that you understand that WE DO NOT TAKE SIDES. Our mediation team will allow you both to speak about your needs, wants and goals in a friendly atmosphere. The more that anger and stress come in to play, the more difficult it becomes to allow you both the ability to move on with your lives. Whether its property division, property dispute, child support, or even pet mediation, we have the experience to help you through it all.
Unlike traditional divorce litigation procedures that end up with a judge deciding the outcome of your lives, divorce mediation allows couples to work voluntarily together to come to a mutually beneficial agreement that works for their needs. California Law does allow you to settle your case out of court which is often a very big factor for couples who decide to choose divorce mediation. Divorce is already stressful, add in a court atmosphere and things grow exponentially.
Whether its in person, via phone or video, divorce mediation allows you both the ability to meet as needed with the mediator. Whatever form of communication will work best for you both. While it is common for divorce mediators to meet with each person 'privately', it is to discuss the individual needs and wants of each indivdual to help both parties come to an agreement.
Do Divorce Mediators Act like a Judge?
The quick answer is NO. A trained divorce mediator will not decide the outcome, nor will a mediator decide who is in the "right" and who is in the "wrong". The primary goal is focused on finding a solution that will meet the needs of each individual while working out complex issues holding you back from moving on with your lives. Our La Quinta divorce mediation team will not impose any conclusions on you, while we may offer suggestions, our goal is for you both to generate your own solutions and agreements. At the final conclusion, the divorce mediator does not make a"final ruling" like a judge, it is up to the couple to work with the mediator to finalize the marriage. Our mediation team will then prepare the paperwork for you to submit to the courts.
