Providing A Valuable Method Of Alternative Dispute Resolution To Divorcing Couples

You are at the beginning stages of your divorce, but you don’t know the best way to proceed. You know that you want to do it respectfully, with as little conflict as possible. You want an amicable and an efficient resolution. You would prefer to avoid spending a great deal of money along the way. Divorce mediation might be a good option for you.

When Confidentiality Matters To You

Mediation occurs outside of the courtroom; therefore, you have control over the details of your divorce settlement. For some couples, restricting public access of their financial records in property division is imperative. While parties must provide a complete inventory of their assets and debts to one another, mediation allows parties to insulate information from court records regarding their substantial assets such as:

• Art collections
• Automobiles
• Real estate holdings
• Business valuation
• Cash available for support

My name is Chandra E. Miller, and I am an attorney and a divorce mediator. At the Auburn Law Office of Chandra E. Miller, I offer neutral divorce mediation and collaborative practice services.

How Mediation Works

During mediation, you remain unrepresented by a lawyer. In divorce mediation, it is important to choose a mediator who is familiar with family law and regularly practices in that area as a lawyer. Mediators can give general information about the law, but not legal advice. The theory of mediation is that, it is the couple themselves who know the best solutions for their family, and mediation puts them in control of the process and the outcome.

As a divorce mediator, my role is to facilitate you and your spouse working together to reach an outcome. I will not make decisions for you or act as a judge.

Discover The Multifaceted Benefits Of Divorce Mediation

In addition to the highest level of confidentiality in property division, mediation does not require waiting for a courtroom. It can begin immediately, meaning that a more efficient resolution is likely. It is less expensive than litigation. There is one additional benefit that should not be overlooked: by requiring a divorcing couple to work together to resolve their differences, it supports a respectful relationship that can last long after the divorce is finalized.
