Divorce Meditation
A Resolution Process on Your Terms
Mediation is one of the most effective ways to resolve family law matters while avoiding the expense, stress, and uncertainty of going to court. At Financial Divorce Designs, we use an understanding-based approach that promotes constructive conversation, encourages empathy, and supports clear, practical decision-making.
In mediation, you remain in control—not a judge or opposing attorney. The process is voluntary and confidential, and as neutral mediators, we do not make decisions or offer legal advice. Instead, we guide discussions, help you explore creative options, and provide legal education so you can make informed choices that best support your family.
Why Choose Mediation?
- Reduced Stress and Cost: Avoid the emotional and financial burdens that come with litigation.
- Faster Path to Resolution: Mediation typically moves far more quickly than the court process.
- Greater Control: You shape the outcome, rather than leaving it to a judge.
- Long-Term Solutions: Agreements built through mutual understanding are more durable and effective.
We assist clients with child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, property division, and parentage matters. Financial Divorce Designs will also handle all court filings from an initial filing to the final judgment.
If you’re ready to pursue a cooperative and cost-effective path forward, contact us to learn more or schedule a consultation.

The Power of Mediation
Divorce can be emotionally challenging, but with an 80% success rate, mediation offers a collaborative, peaceful alternative to litigation by allowing couples to work with a neutral mediator to reach mutually agreeable solutions.
Understanding Mediation’s Purpose and Process
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process that allows divorcing couples to resolve their disputes outside of the courtroom. The process involves a trained mediator who acts as a neutral third party, facilitating communication and guiding the couple toward mutually beneficial solutions. Unlike litigation, mediation encourages open dialogue, cooperation, and compromise, enabling couples to retain control over the decision-making process.
Promoting Amicable Resolutions
One of the primary advantages of mediation is its emphasis on amicable resolutions. By fostering open communication and collaboration, mediation reduces conflict and animosity between divorcing spouses. This cooperative environment paves the way for more creative and personalized solutions, tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of each couple. As a result, couples often experience less emotional stress and maintain a more positive relationship post-divorce, which is particularly beneficial when children are involved.
The Role of The Divorce Mediator
A mediator does not make decisions or offer legal advice; instead, they guide communication and help parties find common ground and voluntary solutions, with the mediator often drafting the final settlement documents for court approval. This alternative to a litigated divorce offers a less stressful, more confidential, and potentially faster way to resolve disputes by keeping control of the outcome with the couple.
The Success Rate of Mediation
Statistics reveal that mediation is highly successful in achieving amicable divorces. According to recent studies, approximately 80% of couples who choose mediation are able to reach a settlement agreement, avoiding costly and protracted litigation. These numbers underscore the effectiveness of mediation as a means to resolve disputes and move forward with their lives in a more harmonious manner.

Are you or someone you know
Contemplating Divorce?
Individuals start contemplating divorce a minimum of 6 months before they take any action, studies indicate. During that time of inaction, fears of the unknown grow and can create anger, animosity and other emotions that are unhealthy. They talk to close friends or family and often times are tempted to do things that they regret.
For many, the first step-consult an attorney. Lawyers provide the needed legal information but they will not be able to alleviate the financial fears.
