\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMediation is integral to the divorce process, whether the case is contested from the start or if\nthere are agreements early on in the process. Parties getting divorced may choose to use a\nmediator that represents both parties in the beginning of the case. The role of the mediating\nattorney is to explain to the parties the likely outcome if they were to go to court, and to assist\nthe parties in reaching agreements regarding the division of assets and debts, the character of\nproperty, valuations attributable to property to be divided, and child custody and visitation\nissues. The parties will often have to resolve issues pertaining to spousal and child support as\nwell.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOther times, the case may start as contested, that is to say that there are no real agreements\nregarding any issues in the beginning of the case. The goal for the divorce attorneys at Evans\nLaw is to work in a proactive way with the opposing party, whether they\u2019re representing\nthemselves or working with an attorney, to narrow the issues for resolution by the Court. This\nsort of mediation is built into our court systems as parties are required to meet and confer before\nany hearing. The purpose of this is to narrow the issues, to reach agreements and to perhaps\nsettle the issues without the Court\u2019s intervention. Amazingly, many cases that are very contested\nearly on settle on many important issues without going to trial. One reason for this is that the\nCourt facilitates the settlement of cases with the various sorts of settlement conferences that the\nparties are required to participate in.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSome divorce cases amount to just working through the parties wish lists and creating a Marital\nSettlement Agreement from the points of agreement and mediating or working with the parties\non the points of disagreement. This sort of divorce is an uncontested dissolution, that is to say,\nthe process of working out the settlement is out of court and informal.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOther times, the parties may choose to mediate their divorce with a private judge. Depending on\nthe extent of the issues that need to be resolved, the private judge may choose to work on the\nissues from pleadings or from private and confidential meetings. This sort of divorce has\nattorneys representing each party which is different from the mediated divorce with a single\nmediating attorney.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe other form of mediation is for child custody. Child custody mediation is available through\nmost court\u2019s family court services that support the courts. For many cases with minor children,\nthe process may be mandatory to the parties before being able to move their contested child\ncustody issues to the next level of court intervention.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
