Can Mediation Attorneys Help With My Divorce?
Divorce can often feel like the end of a road. It is usually a brutal end to a period that most people want to move away from as quickly as possible. You don’t have to face these emotional family matters alone. At a time when tempers are running high, and discussions about parenting plans, child support, and property division can erupt into battles, the mediation attorneys at Liberty Law Center are here to help you navigate the twists and turns of the new road you face.
What Issues Do People Commonly Deal With During a Divorce?
Just as building a life together is a joyous and happy occasion, the dismantling of one is often fraught with discord. One of the most contentious disputes between separating couples usually involves dividing assets. Many people argue over these things because not only are we dealing with physical items with memories attached to them, but this is where financial matters become involved. Our dedicated legal team will work to provide meditation services to couples so that a pathway to open communication may be reached.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a structured, interactive process with a neutral third party acting as an intermediary to help manage any antagonistic interplay between the negotiating parties. The goal of working with a mediator instead of fighting through every battle by yourself is that communication often flows more freely, and everyone’s needs and desires are more likely to be heard in a mediation process than in a disagreement.
Does Mediation Always Work?
Mediation is not a guaranteed fail-safe process. There is no way to be sure that every problem can be solved through mediation. If an amicable solution is no longer an option, it might be necessary for the matter to proceed into litigation. If this happens, the judge will make a final ruling over the issues. You can rest at ease knowing that the legal team at Liberty Law Center will represent you and ensure your rights are protected and your voice is heard.
Can Mediation Attorneys Help Me With Child Custody Problems?
When children are involved in divorce proceedings, the waters often become murkier. It is natural for parents to become consumed with worry over what will happen to their children when they have decided to part ways with their spouse. Determining a fair and balanced parenting plan can become complicated when emotions run hot, and you only want to get yourself and your children out of a difficult or unhappy home.
In Colorado, the children’s best interests are always the most essential factor in any custody situation. So even if you and your spouse can no longer abide by each other’s company (in which case, it is wise to part ways), working together is in the children’s best interest to develop a parenting plan.
It’s important to note that Colorado does not favor one parent over the other. There is an old myth that says children are always better off with their mother because she is the one who gave birth to them, but at Liberty Law Center, we recognize that is not always 100% in 100% of the cases.
Mediation is the first step in resolving these issues, and having our team of dedicated legal professionals by your side throughout will make the entire process run more efficiently and ensure you have the representation you deserve.
I am the Victim of Domestic Violence. Can Mediation Help Me?
Domestic and Family Violence is an unfortunate reality in our society. The most important thing to do if you are dealing with a domestic violence situation in your home is to get somewhere that you and your children (if you have them) are physically out of harm’s way. Once you have done that to the best of your ability, it is time to think about steps to a brighter tomorrow.
What Can a Mediation Attorney Do in Cases of Domestic Violence?
Mediation can be an effective tool when there has been violence in the home. A mediator can:
- Help open communication between partners
- Help arrange childcare/custody/visitation schedules
- Help sort financial troubles/assets
- Discuss safe housing options
- Help you put anything you want to be taken to court on the written record.
A Mediator cannot:
- Continue mediation if the violence is ongoing and the threat is real.
- Provide relationship/marital counseling -although they can help you find referrals for outside services.
- Force either you or your spouse to participate in mediation.
