Things You May Not Understand About Divorce Mediation

Even though divorce mediation is growing in popularity, and even though this can provide both parties with a variety of benefits, here is something to realize: Most people don’t understand the finer details of the process.

Once you learn more about divorce mediation, it is easier to decide for or against this. It is easier to decide if this is what you should use in an attempt to put your divorce in the past as soon as possible.

First things first, you want to know when divorce mediation is a good idea. In short, this makes sense for people who are unable to resolve differences on their own, but don’t want to spend time and money fighting in court.

Secondly, the divorce system only has minimal involvement in the divorce mediation process. For many, this gives them a greater sense of control.

Finally, here is one last thing to understand: Divorce mediation is not a one size fits all process. That’s true for a military divorce or any other type. Just because it did not work for another couple does not mean it will not work for you. Conversely, you may have the best intentions but soon realize that you don’t get along well enough for mediation to provide any benefits.

As long as you fully understand the ins and outs of divorce mediation, you will find yourself in position to make informed decisions. Once you and your former spouse are on the same page, it is your hopes that you can use this tool to get through the divorce. When everything is said and done, you may look back and realize that divorce mediation saved the day.

You get what you pay for, and the Brown Family team is worth every penny. We truly appreciated their team-based approach, making sure that every detail of our case was thoughtfully handled. They were incredibly easy to work with, kept us informed throughout the process, and made sure no question ever went unanswered. By far the best family attorneys I’ve worked with, and the only ones I’ll call if I ever need legal help again.

Response from the owner:Chris, thank you. Glad we were able to guide you through your process.

David Handy is my attorney and he is excellent. He understands my cases and is well informed to defend my needs and the needs of my kids. He is supportive and compassionate. Telling me how things are and what to expect. He does very well with my high conflict cases (protective order and divorce). I highly recommend him and the Brown Family Law firm. Everyone I have talked to is helpful. Especially Conor Schetzel who is currently the paralegal on my cases.

Response from the owner:Suzanne, thank you and glad David has taken care of you.

When you’re going through a tough time and need legal help, this firm isn’t just a one-person operation. It’s a team of attorneys who work together to support you every step of the way. So you’re not just getting a lawyer, you’re getting a legal team behind you.

Navigating the legal system was a steep learning curve for me, and my situation was fairly complex. What stood out about this law firm was the way multiple attorneys collaborated to address my case. It wasn’t just one person working in isolation, but a team supporting each other to find the best path forward. That kind of collective effort is a real strength, especially in hard out complex situations like mine.

There was one issue I felt should have had a different outcome with the court. When I brought it up, the team responded in a very professional and respectful manner, which I truly appreciated. It came to my understanding that the legal system sometimes works in a way that is distant than I thought. This was presented to me in a way that someone outside of the legal system could understand.

In my experience, this firm takes the time to not only assist you, but also help you understand why things are happening. That made a big difference for me, and it’s something that really sets them apart.

Response from the owner:David, thank you for our conversation and taking the time to leave this review.
