You walk away with agreements you actually helped create, not decisions forced on you by a judge who barely knows your situation. Your bank account isn’t decimated by attorney fees that can easily hit $30,000 or more.
Most importantly, you and your ex-spouse can still have civil conversations at your kid’s soccer games. The process takes months, not years, and you maintain your privacy instead of having your personal business become public record.
Your children see parents who solved problems together instead of parents who destroyed each other in court. That’s the difference mediation makes in real families’ lives.
We bring premier divorce mediation to Orange County families who want better outcomes than what traditional litigation delivers. We specialize in divorce mediation, family dispute resolution, and post-judgment modifications.
With expertly trained mediators who understand family law inside and out, we create secure, neutral environments where both parties are heard and respected. Our transparent flat-fee pricing removes the financial surprises that make courtroom battles so devastating to family budgets.
Orange County families deserve mediation services that prioritize their children’s well-being and their financial stability. That’s exactly what we deliver every day.
First, you’ll meet individually with your mediator to discuss your situation and goals. This isn’t about taking sides—it’s about understanding what matters most to each person involved.
Next, you’ll come together in joint sessions where we facilitate productive conversations about the real issues: asset division, child custody arrangements, support obligations, and any other concerns specific to your family.
Throughout the process, you maintain control over the decisions. We don’t impose solutions but help you find common ground and craft agreements that work for your unique circumstances. Once you reach agreement, we prepare the necessary legal documents for court filing.
The entire process typically takes months instead of years, costs a fraction of litigation expenses, and leaves your family relationships intact for the future.

We handle divorce mediation, legal separation, child custody modifications, spousal support adjustments, and post-judgment disputes. Every session is completely confidential—nothing discussed in mediation can be used against you later in court.
In Orange County, where the median household income exceeds $122,000, families have significant assets and complex financial situations that require careful, knowledgeable handling. Our mediators understand high-asset divorces, business valuations, retirement account divisions, and the tax implications of various settlement options.
Orange County’s family-focused culture means children’s well-being stays at the center of every mediation. The process protects kids from the trauma of watching their parents battle in court while ensuring both parents remain actively involved in important decisions.
Mediation typically costs 90% less than traditional litigation in Orange County. While contested divorces through the court system can easily cost $15,000 to $30,000 per person and take up to 19 months, mediation usually runs $2,000 to $5,000 total for both parties.
We use transparent flat-fee pricing, so you know exactly what you’ll pay upfront. No surprise bills, no mounting attorney fees every time someone sends an email or makes a phone call.
The real savings go beyond money—you save your emotional energy, your time, and your relationship with your ex-spouse, which matters enormously when children are involved.
Mediation works for divorce, legal separation, child custody and visitation arrangements, child support modifications, spousal support adjustments, and post-judgment disputes. It’s also effective for unmarried couples dividing shared property or establishing parenting plans.
The process handles both simple and complex financial situations, including business ownership, retirement accounts, real estate holdings, and debt division. If you’re dealing with ongoing disagreements about parenting decisions or support obligations, mediation provides a forum for working out practical solutions.
What mediation can’t do is handle cases involving active domestic violence or situations where one party refuses to participate in good faith. We will assess whether your situation is appropriate for the mediation process during the initial consultation.
Most mediations are completed within 2-6 months, compared to 12-19 months for contested court cases. The timeline depends on the complexity of your assets, the number of issues to resolve, and how well you and your spouse can work together.
Simple cases with minimal assets and no children might be resolved in just a few sessions. More complex situations involving businesses, multiple properties, or complicated custody arrangements may require additional meetings, but still finish much faster than litigation.
You control the pace. If you need time to gather financial information or consult with other professionals, the process waits for you. If you want to move quickly, sessions can be scheduled close together to expedite resolution.
Yes, mediation is completely confidential. Nothing you say during mediation sessions can be used against you if the case later goes to court. Your mediator cannot be called to testify about what was discussed, and all communications remain private.
This confidentiality encourages honest, open discussion about sensitive financial and personal matters. You can explore different settlement options without worrying that your willingness to compromise will be used against you later.
The only exception is if we suspect child abuse or imminent threats of harm. Otherwise, what happens in mediation stays in mediation, protecting your privacy in ways that court proceedings simply cannot.
If mediation doesn’t result in a complete agreement, you haven’t lost anything except the modest cost of the process. You can still file for divorce through the traditional court system, and nothing from mediation can be used against you.
Many couples reach partial agreements through mediation, resolving some issues while leaving others for court determination. This still saves time and money compared to litigating every single issue.
Sometimes couples need a break from mediation to consult with attorneys or financial advisors before returning to complete the process. The door remains open to resume mediation at any time, even after court proceedings have begun.
While you don’t need attorneys present during mediation sessions, it’s often wise to consult with independent counsel before signing any final agreements. We will explain the legal implications of different options, but we represent both parties’ interests, not just yours.
Many people find it helpful to have an attorney review the proposed settlement before finalizing it. This ensures you understand your rights and the long-term consequences of the agreement you’re making.
We encourage clients to seek independent legal advice when appropriate. The goal is making sure you’re fully informed and comfortable with your decisions, not just reaching any agreement quickly.
