Mediation is a way of negotiating a divorce, separation or even a prenuptial agreement without litigation. It involves working with a neutral mediator to resolve such issues as division of assets, custody, child support, spousal support and visitation.
Family mediation is confidential and allows family members to resolve disputes without involving a judge. A mediator is neutral and helps the parties find a solution that is best for their situation. The mediator does not make judgments or decide an issue's outcome.
Mediation is usually faster and more cost-effective than litigation. It also can be less stressful on a family.
Casstevens, Hanner, Gunter, Riopel & Wofford, P.A. has two certified family financial mediators and represents clients in this confidential and somewhat more amicable divorce process.
Our mediators are certified by the state Board of Dispute Resolution, which requires mediators to be attorneys in good standing for more than five years, take extensive training and adhere to high standards.
