My office is a "judgement-free zone." What this means is that I try to remain impartial and unbiased at all times. I do not take sides. During each session, we'll try to make progress. We'll focus on your current situation, and the future. We won't discuss or dwell on the past.
You'll talk directly with each other during the mediation process, and work together to resolve issues that affect your family now and well into the future. I guide you through each issue that needs to be addressed, and ensure that each of you are heard and understood, and that the discussions proceed respectfully and productively.
This makes it more likely that you will ultimately reach a "win-win" resolution of your outstanding issues and reach a settlement agreement.

And, when one or more spouses is unhappy with the outcome of litigation, it is more likely that you will have to return to court to enforce the agreement or seek to change the agreement. And this is expensive.
With mediation, the goal is to reach a mutually beneficial separation or divorce agreement. The entire process is collaborative, and nothing is decided without consensus from both of you. Mediation also provides a safe and confidential atmosphere, in which nothing discussed can be used in court.
In addition, your children benefit when they view their parents working cooperatively, setting the stage for communicating and co-parenting after the divorce. For co-parenting continues well after your divorce is final.
