Breaking Litigation Stalemates with Family Law Mediation
When the courtroom fight has become seemingly endless, our mediation process is an alternate way to find a resolution and achieve finality. We work with both the parties and their attorneys to reach a settlement rather than continue expensive litigation. We have extensive experience working with high-conflict relationships, and we determine the best approach for the structure of the mediation based on the issues involved. Our goal is to minimize the potential harm of litigation on the family unit, including the parties and the children.
Types of Mediation Litigation Support:
- Divorce (with attorneys)
- Uncontested Divorce (without attorneys)
- Temporary Orders
- Shared Parenting Plan
- Custody Disputes
- Spousal Support Modification
- Child Support Modification
Examples of Successful Litigation Support Mediations
Divorce on the Brink of Trial.
The parties litigated for two years. Each party had complex compensation structures including stock options, performance bonuses, and in-kind benefits. The parties also had complex assets including pensions. After some advance preparation, the mediator resolved all issues and the parties avoided trial.
Shift from Litigation to Settlement.
The parties filed for divorce to seek restraining orders and then removed the case from court to attend mediation. The parties consulted with their attorneys as needed for legal advice and resolved their entire case, which preserved their coparenting relationship.
From Custody Fight to Coparenting.
The parents were in custody litigation for more than a year. While they exchanged proposed parenting plans, they were unable to reach an agreement. In mediation, the parents resolved all parenting issues including child support based on updated financial documents, and the case was finalized.
