Benefits of Mediation
Save on costly legal fees
With collaborative divorce, our experienced advanced family mediators work with both parties to come to a mutually beneficial settlement agreement that can be presented in court. We help you to ensure all steps are covered. We help guide you through the process of working together and determining what is best for your specific family needs - outside of the court system. Attorneys and costly litigation are not required to divorce. We do not give legal advice, so an advising attorney is recommended.
Ensure you've covered everything
With a collaborative divorce, both spouses can express their needs and wishes regarding child custody, visitation, asset and property division, alimony, etc. Each spouse will be able to form a mutually agreed upon settlement agreement tailored to their unique situation. Have you considered post divorce and blended families? We can help. Divorce is personal, and typically, people are better able to make decisions regarding their children and families, rather than the impartial court process.
Memorandum of agreement
After the mediation sessions conclude, your mediator will draw up a binding mediation agreement or memorandum of agreement, for review and signature by both parties. This agreement can be presented in the court to show that both parties have come to agreement in all necessary areas. This saves on impersonal court intervention for your situation. Anything discussed in our mediation sessions are completely confidential and cannot be shared.
Workplace and civil mediation
Sopia mediators are not only experienced and trained advanced family mediators, but also oversee workplace and corporate conflicts, senior living and care issues, and civil cases. We have aided in helping parties come to the table and resolve disputes without expensive and time consuming legal fees and court proceedings.
