FAQs

What if my spouse and I can barely speak to each other?

This is completely normal and a concern many of my clients initially share. I'm trained to help you communicate effectively even when emotions are running high. 85% of my clients who initially couldn't imagine being in the same room together successfully complete mediation, saving both their assets and emotional well-being.

How do you protect our assets during mediation?

Asset protection is my primary focus. Unlike litigation, where significant resources often go to legal fees, mediation helps you preserve your wealth while finding fair solutions. Studies show that mediated divorces preserve an average of 35% more marital assets compared to litigated divorces.

What if I'm not ready to commit to mediation yet?

That's why I offer "What If" consultations - completely private sessions where you can explore your options without any commitment. Your spouse never needs to know about these conversations. Many of my clients start with just a simple conversation about what's possible.

How long does mediation take?

While every case is unique, most of my clients complete their divorce in 4-6 months, compared to 18-24 months for litigation. Working directly together saves significant time - you're not waiting for attorneys to exchange documents and responses.

What about complex financial situations?

I have extensive experience with high-asset divorces and complex financial situations including:

• Business valuations and divisions
• Stock option and RSU allocations
• Real estate portfolios
• Retirement account divisions
• Complex compensation structures

Is mediation legally binding?

It can be, depending on your state and jurisdiction. The agreements we create are legally binding and enforceable as a contract and can be filed with your local court. The difference is that you maintain control over the decisions rather than having them imposed by a judge. 95% of mediated agreements stay in place without future modification, compared to only 50% of litigated judgments.hile every case is unique, most of my clients complete their divorce in 4-6 months, compared to 18-24 months for litigation. Working directly together saves significant time - you're not waiting for attorneys to exchange documents and responses.
