mediation
–noun
  action in mediating between parties, as to effect an agreement or reconciliation.

Mediation is an increasingly popular way to work out a fair, legally enforceable settlement without heavily involving the court system in the process.  At Van Tine and Associates,  a neutral mediator who is trained to assist you and your spouse work toward a divorce settlement will offer guidance and will provide a safe environment to address conflict that may arise along the way.  

Contrary to what many people believe, mediation is not just for "friendly" divorces.   Most divorcing couples experience emotional distress even in the best situations.   By using a trained
mediator,  you can focus on your common goal of getting divorced and protecting your children while making your best effort to avoid an emotionally draining or  financially expensive legal dispute.

Family mediation is not psychotherapy, marital counseling or legal representation.  Mediators with backgrounds in law or mental health do not represent or counsel mediation clients during the mediation process, but rather they serve as neutral facilitators of the decision-making process.
