What Issues Can Be Addressed Through Family Law Mediation?

Here are some common types of issues we can assist with:

Child Custody and Parenting Plans

Establish a parenting schedule that fits your family’s lifestyle, allowing both parents to stay involved in their child’s life. Discuss holidays, vacations, and daily routines to avoid future conflict.

Child Support Agreements

Work together to ensure your child’s financial needs are met without the tension of a courtroom. This includes determining how to share school expenses, medical care, and extracurricular activities.

Spousal Support (Alimony)

Discuss whether financial support is needed and for how long. Mediation allows couples to find creative solutions that work for both parties, avoiding rigid court orders.

Division of Property and Debts

Decide how to divide assets such as your home, cars, or retirement accounts, as well as who will take responsibility for any shared debts, like credit cards or loans.

Modification of Existing Agreements

If life circumstances change, such as a relocation or job change, mediation offers a way to adjust existing child custody or support arrangements without returning to court.

Co-Parenting Coordination

Mediation can help parents work through challenges that arise after a divorce, such as school involvement, medical decisions, or extracurricular activities.

How Family Law Mediation Works

Mediation is a private process, led by a neutral mediator who helps both sides communicate and reach a fair agreement. Here’s how it works:

• Initial Meeting: You and the other party meet with the mediator to discuss goals and outline the issues to be resolved.
• Negotiation Sessions: Through guided conversations, you’ll work on each issue one by one until you reach an agreement.
• Legal Review: Once you’ve agreed on terms, our team at Barboza Law will ensure everything is documented correctly and legally binding.
• Court Approval: In most cases, the agreement is submitted to the court for approval, making it enforceable.

Why Choose Mediation?

• Faster Resolutions: Avoid waiting months for a court date—mediation lets you settle things at your own pace.
• Lower Costs: With fewer legal fees and court appearances, mediation is far more affordable than traditional litigation.
• Less Stress: Skip the emotional drain of courtroom battles and work together in a cooperative environment.
• More Control: You and the other party shape the outcome, ensuring decisions fit your family’s specific needs.
• Private and Confidential: Mediation is a private process, keeping your family’s matters out of the public eye.
