Our San Diego family mediation services is a private mediation process that gives couples many hours to communicate and discuss settlements rather than the few minutes you receive in court. The mediation sessions in our office last 90 minutes and are scheduled weekly, so the parties have time between meetings to research, consult with advisors, and do any homework assignments. The parties also choose the mediator, and so they will agree on someone they each feel comfortable speaking to and believe that this person has their best interests in mind. The mediator will also handle all the Court paperwork and drafting and filing of documentation and agreements, so that you never have to go to Court. Simply review and sign all the documents as opposed to creating and drafting them yourselves. Simply stated, this process is much healthier than the abruptness of Court-ordered mediation.
