Why Mediate Your Divorce?
- Parties cooperate, rather than compete, with
each other
- Helps parties rationally identify areas of
conflict and find amicable resolutions
- Allows parties to actively participate in the
outcome of their divorce in total privacy
- Conflict for children is minimized – children
come first
- Legal fees are minimized compared with
lengthy Court proceedings

Divorce Mediation is a voluntary process in
which the Mediator helps you and your spouse identify all
the issues that need to be covered in your Separation
Agreement, including what it costs to live apart and the
amount and duration of any support needed. We will show you
how the Maryland Child Support Guidelines apply to your
situation, help you identify all of your marital and
non-marital assets, determine their value and help you to
divide them fairly. We will also help you determine a plan
for future parenting decisions for your children.
Divorce mediation helps identify and brainstorm key issues
concerning the division of personal and real property,
support, parenting, and plans for the future. It helps
eliminate the painful win-lose atmosphere that is part of
all adversarial divorces. The process is a mutual search for
a reasonable resolution.
Divorce mediation can be conducted by a Mediator with only
you and your spouse present or may be held with each of you
having an attorney present with you. The Mediator can
prepare an Agreement for the couple to review with their
respective counsel before the Agreement is signed. If no
Agreement is reached, parties reserve all rights to proceed
to Court for resolution.
Our attorneys also act as advocates and advisors for clients
in mediation with other mediators.
