| "I think there are several advantages to working with a divorce mediator. Probably the number one benefit is to be able to meet in a neutral and informal setting with someone who wants to assist with a mutually satisfactory outcome. Rick is friendly and objective, which helps to reduce stress. The thought going in was that there would be an agreement reached without the expense and hassle of going through the court system. The while-you-wait updating of the proposed order is a real plus because everyone can review the agreement language in real time...an make changes as needed. Rick does an excellent job of helping people focus on positives and avoiding the negative energy that so often surrounds personal conflicts." - Joe Bamberger, Fresno, Ca |

Dear
Friend,
Divorce is tough but divorce litigation is much
harder. Most people who take their divorce cases to court sink
all their available time and energy into the divorce. There
are ridiculous lawyer fees that you and your spouse will have
to pay, leaving less money for starting over, taking care of
the children, and having the essentials. Typically, divorce
court cases turn into either a circus or a war where you
battle violently with your spouse to decide on the important
issues. |
You
Don't Have to Let Some Judge Decide
What's Going to Happen
in Your Life. |
In fact, when you
get right down to it, you don't get to decide on anything.
After the case has been presented in its entirety, the judge
decides who gets what and who the children stay with. This
is basically like handing your fate over to a complete
stranger and allowing him or her to decide where your life
will go from now on.
With mediation, you work to
decide what happens with the divorce. It no longer has to be a
war - you and your spouse can positively decide what happens
and what to do. |
You
Don't Have to Put Your Children Through a
Nightmare in
Order to Obtain a Divorce! |
| While court cases
can fuel the fire of emotions that come along with divorce,
mediation is aimed at 'friendly divorce.' This is especially
helpful when children are involved. No one wants to put their
children through a nasty divorce and custody battle. The
children are already going through a divorce; why make things
worse for them? Mediation allows many different options for
couples who seek a divorce, and it's a much healthier process
than divorce litigation. Here's why: |
- With mediation,
there is a calm meeting between spouses.
While at first things may be tough and there will
be a lot of tension, mediators are skilled at helping the
parties look past the negative emotions to what has to be
done. Typically, tempers and negative emotions settle after
just one meeting lasting an hour.
- You save
money!
A divorce court case can be extremely expensive.
You have to pay legal fees that are usually
out-of-this-world expensive, and both parties have to do it
in order to have representation. This means that both
parties have less money to take care of their children and
seek a new home, vehicle, and life. Mediation is much less
expensive.
- You stay
healthier.
A divorce court case takes a lot more from you
than your money. It is physically and emotionally
exhausting. This is made worse by the fact that typical
divorce cases can last for a very long time. When you want a
divorce, you generally want to move on with your life and
not waste any more of it. Mediation helps you do this
successfully.

| This
is where Central Valley Family Mediation comes
in. |
| Our mediators work
with your family to help you make those important decisions
without the fighting, screaming and negativity that comes with
divorce litigation. Extensively experienced in friendly
divorces, we are able to create a neutral ground for you and
your spouse to meet in. There, you are able to do several
things including: |
- Make Calm
Decisions Regarding Personal Property.
In a divorce court case,
a judge decides who gets what. With mediation, you decide.
You can work together to decide who needs what more and
where your items will go. As two adults, you don't need a
judge to make decisions regarding things he or she is not
intimately familiar with. You can make your own case as to
why you should have this and why you think your spouse needs
that
- Make the Best
Decisions Regarding Your Children.
One thing is certain. You
love your children and you don't want to deprive them of
anything. Good parents simply want their children to be
happy and well adjusted. With mediation, your children don't
have to see the ugly side of court-based divorce processes.
You can work together as co-parents to decide what is best
for the children and what sort of living plans you want them
to have.
- Decide Fairly
How the Existing Debts Get Distributed.
Although divorce is
difficult, important decisions have to be made. Who pays
what bills is one of those important decisions. With
mediation, there is a comfortable atmosphere where adults
can work out these issues in a fair way. You know the
situation and you know who was responsible for what bills in
a way that a judge does not. So, why would you let him
decide who is going to pay for them? You can make these
decisions much better together without the interference of a
judge or lawyers.
- Save
Money!
Going through divorce litigation is insanely
expensive. When you come out of a divorce, typically there
is a natural grieving process that you have to go through.
You may also have to find new living arrangements and
transportation and replace items you no longer have. This
can be extremely difficult to do if you have spent every
single red cent you have on attorneys and court costs. With
litigation taking more time, you will have to continue to
pay more money! Mediation works in a completely different
way. It costs a fraction of a court divorce, and you don't
even have to have your lawyers. That is your choice to make.
Keeping your money means more for the children and more for
you to get your life back on track.
