former client

Both Joe and Cheryl found a way to keep the conversation moving forward while bringing just enough light heartedness to keep the tension down for what otherwise could have been a miserable experience.

They can take a difficult topic and process and make it very manageable, a skill that only experience can provide.

They are both incredibly helpful and their process was efficient and effective.

No Matter Who You Are, Divorce Mediation Can Work for You.

Amicable Divorce

You’re both devoted to your children and have great respect for each other as parents, even though the spark has faded in your marriage.

You want your divorce to be peaceful, fair and focused on the needs of your kids so you can both share parenting time, remain actively involved in their lives and be great co-parents after your divorce is final.

Divorce After 20 Years or More

Whether it came on recently, or you've been unhappy a long time, you still care for and respect each other very much - appreciating the contributions and sacrifices you each made during your marriage.

Between paying for your kids' college education and retirement being closer than you'd like to admit, you want to work together to ensure you each have the support and resources you need to move on with the next chapter in your soon-to-be separate lives.

Gray Divorce

You've worked hard to raise your children and get to where you are financially. But with the kids now all grown up, and retirement your new reality, you and your spouse have grown apart.

You don’t want to spend your Golden Years in a protracted legal battle, wasting your valuable time and money. You want to preserve the wealth you've worked so hard for, and spend your remaining years living life to the fullest.

Divorce with a Business Involved

You’ve both sacrificed a lot over the years. One of you working long hours to put your family on a path to financial freedom. While the other not only held down the fort at home, but provided emotional and tactical support as the business formed, developed and grew. And while business ownership can be rewarding professionally, it can be extremely difficult personally.

You want your agreement to balance each of your interests while acknowledging the scheduling challenges and compensation complexities unique to an entrepreneurial lifestyle. And at the same time, prevent outsiders from destroying everything you’ve worked so hard to build.

Sole Breadwinner + Stay-at-Home Mom Divorce

Each of you has played a vital role in raising your children and financially advancing your family to where you are today.

Now that you’re divorcing, you want to make sure your settlement agreement acknowledges the contributions each of you made to the marriage, inside and outside the home, without getting short-changed financially in the process.

Divorce After Short Marriage

When you got married a few years ago, you never thought you’d find yourself facing divorce. And even though you've been married less than 5 years, it doesn't mean splitting up hurts any less.

You want your divorce to be fair, but don't want it to be full of drama, cost a fortune or take forever to complete.

Whether you work inside the home or outside of it, have minor children, grown children or are child-free, have been married a short time or have been together for many years, Equitable Mediation is the smartest way to divorce.

Divorce is less about family law and more about parenting, money and negotiation. So before you go out and hire a divorce lawyer, learn why you owe it to yourself and your children to work with a mediator instead.
