A trained divorce mediator in Fresno helps couples with important decisions without taking sides. Spouses are encouraged to explore areas of conflict and discuss all available options. Mediators promote effective and respectful communication that empowers couples to find solutions that work for their family. Some of the most common areas of contention include division of property, spousal support, and child custody disputes.
The role of the mediator is to identify the needs of everyone involved, including children, gather necessary information, explore solutions, and help couples reach an agreement everyone is satisfied with.
Although it is not necessary to retain the services of an attorney it is recommended. An attorney can advise you during the mediation process, join in on sessions, and review the final settlement agreement.
