Our Mediator describes our money and time saving rules and procedures that ensure mutual respect, full disclosure of all information and documents, the best interest of any minor children, and an equitable resolution of all matters.
During this Step, your Mediator will get up to speed about your situation by finding out what concerns you most, what your goals are regarding the outcomes of mediation, your educational and career backgrounds, incomes, health conditions, and all other pertinent matters. Your mediator will also request that you and/or spouse or coparent provide whatever information and documents are needed to work through all the matters involved in your situation – fairly, inexpensively, and caringly.
This Step gives you and your spouse a safe and supportive space to work with our Mediator to successfully mediate all issues involved in your matter, including how your property will be divided, your debts allocated, and all minor children, child support, and spousal maintenance matters. Most mediations without minor children typically take 4-6 hours to complete, while those with minor children typically take 6-8 hours.
With their extensive backgrounds in law, psychology, and mediation, your Mediator will help you and spouse or coparent communicate and negotiate effectively, offer different options and alternatives for resolving any disagreements, and provide legal, financial, tax, and other information – all directed towards the goal of ensuring that you and your spouse or coparent make fully informed decisions about all aspects of your matter.
This Step ensures that all decisions made in Step 4 are included in a legally-binding settlement agreement, all court documents are accurately prepared, and you and spouse never have to go to Court. Our time-tested and all-inclusive settlement agreements and court documents make sure that there are no loose ends and are approved by the Court. You and your spouse can rest assured you won’t ever have to surrender control to an attorney or a Judge.
The professionalism, organization, ability to completely explain and make aware of all the options possible were kindly delivered by Oliver. I would not look anywhere else for a better mediator

Oliver and his staff made this difficult time in our lives so much easier. The approach to divorce was handled with concern for our emotional, as well as financial, well-being. We both came out feeling as though we were treated fairly and given sound advice for going forward.

I’m Barry Brooks and I confess I have not worked with Oliver Ross and his team at Out of Court Solutions. But the reason I’m writing is I have had several of my friends do so and have had terrific resolutions for all parties involved. No hostility often typically found with divorce attorneys. And they feel that they saved themselves a lot of aggravation, time as well as money. Very highly recommended!
