Our One Team™ Mediation process can help you work together to divorce with less stress and less cost.

Mediation is a confidential process that helps you reach agreements outside of court. Mediation is less expensive than litigation and can help you keep your coparenting relationship intact for the benefit of your kids.

My goal, as your mediator, is to help you communicate in a healthy, respectful and effective manner so that you can come to decisions you both feel comfortable with and get through this process with as little cost and conflict as possible.

• Helping you work together as One Team™ to find the best possible outcome for both of you

• General education on the divorce process and what your options are

• Explanation of what information/documents you will need to gather to prepare for mediation and/or actually "file" for divorce

• Providing alternative options to help you reach agreement

• Drafting your marital settlement agreement as you make decisions

• Helping you communicate effectively so you can come to terms on difficult financial decisions​

• ​Running alimony calculations so you can agree on acceptable support terms

• Connecting you with other professionals who can help you navigate complex calculations and decisions (experts in divorce finances, mortgages, retirement accounts, etc.)

• Connecting you with reputable and ethical attorneys who will ensure you have covered all your bases without charging unnecessary fees or creating conflict

Generally, I meet with clients on Zoom because it is the most convenient option for my clients to schedule meetings when they are both available. I do have an office in Winter Springs and access to a conference room, so I am able to do sessions in person, but there is no evidence that doing sessions in person would lead to a better outcome. 

The short answer is yes. 

The long answer is: You made all (or most) of your parenting and financial decisions up to this point without lawyers. If you can work together to unravel your marriage amicably, without lawyers, then no, you do not need lawyers to get divorced. In fact, in the majority of divorce cases in Central Florida, one or both parties is “pro se” (meaning they do not have an attorney).

I always recommend that if my mediation clients have any questions or reservations about the agreements they have come to, they get a consultation with an attorney. This can happen at any time during the mediation process or you can simply bring an attorney in at the end to review the documents prior to signing.

I have a list of wonderful lawyers who I can refer you to who will not charge you an arm and a leg or try to create conflict between you and your ex unnecessarily.

The short answer is “it’s up to you.”

The long answer is: It depends on how motivated and organized you both are. We can meet for one hour per week or two (or three!). We can meet once per week or twice per week. 

My job is to help you communicate effectively and find solutions that can work for both of you and keep you moving forward through the process.

But, at the end of the day, I cannot force you to move at a certain pace. 

How long this takes is really determined on a case by case basis, but I will do everything in my power to help you move to the next chapter of your lives efficiently.

I have an office at 5750 Canton Cove, Winter Springs, FL 32708 but I work remotely with clients all over the State of Florida. Most of my clients prefer to meet via Zoom because it is easier to schedule, but I can do in person sessions at my office.

I am a State of Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator, which means I am certified to mediate divorce, paternity and modification cases all over the State of Florida.
