Roseville Mediation Attorney

What Is Divorce Mediation?

Mediation is an alternative to fighting in court and letting a judge make decisions regarding your divorce, and other issues such as child custody, spousal support, and property division.

Mediation is a completely voluntary process where an experienced, professional, and unbiased third party helps two conflicting individuals negotiate a settlement of their case. The divorce mediator is best described as a professional negotiator.

Why Choose Mediation?

Going to trial can be an expensive and hectic way to handle divorce. Trial is sometimes the necessary and appropriate method, but it places the decision-making power in the hands of a judge. Details of divorce are important issues that will impact your future and should be made by you and your current spouse.

A mediator can help you and the other party see beyond the differences that cause the animosity. I can help the two of you make important life-changing decisions on your own so that you don't have to appear before a judge. If you are interested in learning more about how divorce mediation can help you in this situation, please feel free to speak with my firm.

At the Law Offices of Evan Samuelson, I offer divorce mediation services to those spouses or parents who wish to explore that path. I have completed a 40-hour training course with the Northern California Mediation Center (NCMC) and have the necessary skills to help you efficiently handle this issue. Mediation provides both parties the chance to cope with the issues that have started the dispute.

How a Roseville Divorce Mediator Can Help You

Filing for a divorce is a life-changing decision and one that should never come lightly. However, once you are in the place where you feel as though it is the best decision for you (and perhaps your family) then contacting a family lawyer is going to be the next best decision.

Even when you and your almost-ex are willing to work out a divorce settlement together, utilizing the guidance of a skilled legal professional is going to be what saves you both time, money, and maybe even a little stress as well. Even though mediation is a means of staying out of the courtroom, a lawyer can offer you very specific guidance in order to make sure you are making the best decisions for yourself.

Getting a divorce doesn't always have to be an emotionally charged, stressful, or costly process. While litigation in court is sometimes necessary and appropriate, frequently couples going through a divorce can resolve their differences amicably, through mediation, and then move on with their lives that much sooner.
