You’re not spending years in courtrooms or hemorrhaging money on legal battles. Instead, you’ve reached a fair agreement in months, not years, keeping an average of $10,000 in your pocket where it belongs.
Your children aren’t caught in the crossfire of a bitter divorce war. They’re seeing their parents handle a difficult situation with respect and maturity, giving them the stability they need during this transition.
You and your ex-spouse can actually be in the same room for graduations, weddings, and family events without the toxic aftermath that litigation often leaves behind. That’s what happens when you choose collaboration over combat.
We understand the unique pressures facing families in Wilshire Square, where property values and financial complexities can make divorce settlements particularly challenging. We’ve been helping Orange County couples navigate these waters without the courthouse drama.
Our mediators know that in an area where the median household income is nearly $60,000 and white-collar professionals make up 88% of the workforce, you need solutions that protect your financial future while preserving your family relationships.
We’re not another law firm looking to drag out your case for billable hours. We’re mediation specialists who believe you deserve a divorce process that’s as efficient and dignified as you are.
First, we sit down together—you, your spouse, and your mediator—in a confidential setting where both voices get heard. No lawyers arguing in separate corners, no judge who doesn’t know your family making decisions about your life.
We work through the real issues: how to divide your assets fairly, what custody arrangement serves your children best, and how to handle support in a way that makes sense for your actual situation. Every decision is yours to make.
Throughout the process, we’re facilitating productive conversations, not fueling fights. When you reach agreements—and most couples do—we draft the legal documents and file them with the court. You get your divorce decree without ever setting foot in a courtroom for a trial.

Complete divorce mediation services that cover property division, child custody, spousal support, and all the details that matter to your family. We handle everything from simple agreements to complex financial situations involving multiple properties or business interests.
In Wilshire Square’s dynamic real estate market, where home values can fluctuate significantly, we help couples navigate property division with current market insights. We understand how Orange County’s community property laws work in practice, not just in theory.
Post-judgment mediation for when life changes require modifications to existing agreements. Whether it’s a job change, relocation, or shift in custody needs, we help you adapt your agreements without going back to court.
Our flat-fee pricing means you know exactly what you’re paying upfront—no surprise bills, no meter running while we talk. It’s mediation that respects both your time and your budget.
Mediation typically costs around $5,000 in California, while a litigated divorce can run $15,000 to $40,000 or more. The difference comes down to control and efficiency.
In mediation, you’re working with one neutral mediator instead of two attorneys battling it out. You’re also moving at your own pace rather than waiting months for court dates and dealing with the inevitable delays that come with an overburdened court system.
Our flat-fee structure means you know your costs upfront, and most couples save an average of $10,000 compared to traditional litigation. That’s money that stays in your family instead of funding a legal war.
Most mediations are completed in 2-4 months, compared to 9-24 months for litigation. The timeline depends on your willingness to work together and the complexity of your situation.
Simple cases with cooperative couples can sometimes be resolved in just a few sessions. More complex situations involving multiple properties, business interests, or detailed custody arrangements might take a bit longer, but we’re still talking months, not years.
The key difference is that you control the timeline. You’re not waiting for court dates or dealing with the back-and-forth delays that make litigation drag on indefinitely. When you’re ready to move forward with your life, mediation gets you there faster.
Most couples reach agreement on the vast majority of issues, even if they start out thinking they’ll never agree on anything. That’s the power of having a neutral facilitator help you work through the real concerns beneath the positions.
If you get stuck on one or two issues, you have options. You can take a break and return to those topics later, bring in experts for specific guidance (like financial advisors for complex asset division), or even agree to mediate most issues and only litigate the few you can’t resolve.
Even if mediation doesn’t resolve everything, you’ve likely saved thousands in legal fees and months of time on the issues you did settle. Partial success in mediation is still far better than a full court battle.
Yes, mediation is completely confidential. What you discuss in mediation stays in mediation—it can’t be used against either of you later if you end up in court for any reason.
This is dramatically different from litigation, where court filings become public records that anyone can access. Your financial information, personal details, and family matters stay private when you choose mediation.
This confidentiality also creates a safe space for honest conversations. You can explore options, admit concerns, and work through emotions without worrying that your words will be twisted and used against you later. It’s one of the key reasons mediation often leads to better long-term outcomes than adversarial court battles.
Anger and conflict are normal parts of divorce, and skilled mediators are trained to work with these emotions constructively. The question isn’t whether you’re angry—it’s whether you can both commit to working toward resolution despite those feelings.
Mediation actually handles conflict better than litigation in many cases because it addresses the underlying concerns instead of just the legal positions. When people feel heard and understood, they’re often more willing to find common ground.
However, mediation isn’t appropriate in cases involving domestic violence, abuse, or situations where one party can’t negotiate in good faith. We will assess whether your situation is suitable for mediation and be honest about whether it’s the right choice for your family.
While you don’t need lawyers to participate in mediation, many couples choose to have consulting attorneys review their agreement before signing. This gives you an extra layer of protection and peace of mind.
Your mediator remains neutral and can’t give either of you legal advice, but we can explain how the law typically works and help you understand your options. Some couples also have their attorneys available for consultation throughout the process.
The key difference is that in mediation, any attorneys you use are working as advisors to help you make informed decisions, not as advocates trying to “win” against the other side. This keeps costs down while still ensuring you understand your rights and the long-term implications of your choices.
