Divorce Mediation Services

With their backgrounds in law and psychology our divorce mediators ensure that your divorce and legal separation proceeds smoothly and inexpensively.   They also ensure that you have a well-rounded understanding of all of the legal, financial, and parenting of any minor children issues involved in your situation, and guide you through the discussions and negotiations that lead to a legally binding settlement.

The Divorce Mediation Process

Our form of mediation will take you through all of the rules and procedures of mediation and will make sure you and your space are on the same page.  You will both have an opportunity to speak, without interruption, about the situation as  each of you see it, and also be able to discuss what goals  each of you hope to achieve with mediation including the division of property and debts, and any parenting and support matters. Once each  of your goals have been clarified and all options have been explored, our mediators will help  you and your spouse find a mutually acceptable resolution. Our team of mediators in Phoenix, Arizona will also prepare a complete settlement agreement and all appropriate court documents,  such that you and your spouse will never have to go to court. This form of resolution saves a significant amount time, money and frustration. In fact, Out-of-Court Solutions in the state of Arizona has helped over 95% of clients resolve their issues quickly, economically and with minimum stress or strain.

In addition to divorce mediation services, Out-of-Court Solutions in Arizona offers a “flat-fee” document preparation services with “as-needed” mediation.  These services are for divorcing or legally separating couples who have agreed on mostly everything but want legal expertise to answer their questions, address their concerns, and prepare  all of the divorce or legal separation documents that the courts in Arizona require. These services are aimed at  ensuring that all the proper legal, financial, support and care of any minor children bases have been covered, in the least time, expense, and hassle possible.

Legal Separation

Legal separation ends community property rights and obligations but preserves the marital relationship. For example, when legally separated, each spouse’s income is his or her sole and separate property, and one spouse can no longer obligate the other for any debt he or she incurs. Divorce, on the other hand, (whether in Arizona or in any other state) ends the marital relationship as well as community property rights and obligations.

Mediation of legal separation occurs in the same way and typically involves the same issues as divorce mediation. Couples work together with a professional mediator to reach agreements concerning division of assets (such as real estate, investment accounts, and retirement benefits), allocation of debts, child and/or spousal support, and parenting arrangements for minor children.

It’s never too late to stop the increased hostility and substantial cost of litigating with adversarial lawyers. With his 20+ years as a professional divorce mediator and backgrounds in law and psychology, regardless of the status of your court case there is a 95% probability that our Mediator will help you completely resolve your matter quickly and expensively.
