Ask anyone who has gone through the long and difficult process of divorce, and they will tell you it was one of their more significant & stressful experiences. Going through the process of a divorce can be emotionally devastating to the divorcing individuals, other family members and especially to the children.  It has been said, “no one wins in divorce.”  By using a divorce mediator, the process will be easier, fairer and more cost effective.

Divorce Mediation Services

Divorce mediation is a valuable alternative to court litigation. Two persons work through the divorce process with a neutral third party to listen and guide them.  A divorce mediator enables you to:

• Take control of the process rather than relying on attorneys and the courts to make decisions
• Work toward making decisions in a more informal setting
• Always keep the human factor present as you work through a seemingly difficult process
• Communicate openly and equally with each other.  The mediator is present to ask questions for clarification and to keep the conversation balanced and civil
• Keep the conversation & agreement focused on what is best for the children, now and in the future.

Always remember that an “equitable divorce” can only happen when neither partner wins at the expense of the other.  Through the mediation process, this can be accomplished.

Divorce Financial Planning Services

Along with our work as mediators, we also specialize in:

• The equitable distribution of assets and liabilities
• Equitable child custody agreements
• Spousal and child support
• Planning for tax consequences.

Just as you may select an attorney for his or her expertise, equally important is to work with a financial expert to work on its ramifications. We work alongside your attorney or mediator to reach financial agreements. Stacey Herman, the principal of Divorce Solutions Group, Inc is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA™).  We know finances.  Not only can we help with the equitable distribution aspect; but we can also help with financial planning for the future for all parties involved.

The goal of the divorce process is always to assist 2 persons who are in an irreconcilable marriage to have the legal part of that marriage dissolved in a fair and amicable manner. We can help both parties to navigate through the difficult world of finances in a way that will bring equitable closure.  It is important to realize that financial settlements are more than just a part of the closure:  They are important parts of life beginning after the divorce, for both of you, and your children.
