What To Expect During The Divorce Process

Regardless of whether you decide to move forward with mediation or divorce litigation, the same issues will be addressed. The mediator or your Wellesley divorce lawyer will facilitate conversations or suggest solutions to the many issues in divorce, from child custody to parenting time and property division and alimony.

Using Divorce Mediation To Stay Out Of Court

Divorce mediation is a method of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that allows spouses to end their marriage outside the courtroom. In a mediation situation, both spouses, and their lawyers, agree to handle the divorce through mediation rather than through the courtroom.

You may use mediation to resolve your entire divorce, or you can limit the scope of mediation to addressing specific issues within your divorce. Additionally, mediation may be used as a means of obtaining a second opinion before you sign your divorce settlement.

If, however, the case does end up in court, both spouses must proceed with new lawyers. This gives everyone involved an incentive to work toward a solution.

The process is intended to be open, respectful and solution-oriented.

In some situations, financial advisers, parent coordinators and other specialists may be hired to evaluate the situation and provide neutral assessments of the matter at hand, enabling the spouses to make informed decisions.

She Was Aggressive And Never Backed Down

I found Lisa through reviews and was not disappointed. Lisa and her staff were great! They were very supportive and explained everything. She was aggressive and never backed down, even when I wanted to settle. She always looked out for my best interest, even when I didn’t want to. I can’t recall a single debate she lost during the entire case. If I were ever in a similar situation again (which will not be anytime in the foreseeable future!), I would call Lisa.
