About the Divorce Mediation Process

Guided by an experienced divorce mediator at Transitions Mediation Center, you can protect your legal rights and resolve your own divorce without entering expensive litigation and divorce court.

In divorce mediation, rather than represent either spouse, a neutral mediator helps couples understand their legal rights and responsibilities, then works with them as they create a settlement that will meet their financial and emotional needs, far into the future. A mediated divorce is one that maximizes the benefits and minimizes the losses for both people.

Our free half-hour consultation for divorce and mediation can help you determine the best way to move forward.

Benefits of our Divorce Mediation Services

Transitions Mediation Center can guide you through your divorce process from start to finish, quickly and successfully.

  • Working with a mediator is a cost-effective, civilized alternative for couples seeking divorce.

  • Even the most complex cases can be mediated with attorneys working in an advisory rather than adversarial capacity. It's a misconception that you and your spouse have to be on friendly or even on speaking terms for mediation to work. Learn how high-conflict couples benefit from divorce mediation.

  • It’s never too late to attempt mediation. Once involved in litigation, people often feel their divorce spinning out of control. Mediation offers you a way out.

  • A divorce mediator can teach you vital principles of communication and negotiation that you may have lost as your relationship deteriorated or that you may never have had in your marriage.
