You walk away with a legally binding agreement that actually works for your situation. No more wondering what a judge might decide about your assets, your children, or your future.
Your divorce is resolved in weeks, not years. You’ve saved thousands of dollars that would have gone to attorney fees and court costs. Most importantly, you maintained control over the decisions that shape your family’s future.
When children are involved, you’ve preserved the foundation for successful co-parenting. Instead of the adversarial aftermath of a court battle, you and your ex-spouse have learned to communicate effectively about what matters most.
We have been helping Orange County families navigate divorce with dignity for years. Our lead mediator is a board-certified family law specialist—a distinction held by less than one percent of attorneys in California.
We understand the unique challenges facing Browning residents. With Orange County’s volatile housing market significantly impacting divorce settlements and the area’s high cost of living creating additional financial stress, you need mediators who understand local realities.
Our team combines deep legal expertise with a compassionate approach. We’ve helped thousands of clients avoid the chaos of court while achieving fair, lasting resolutions that protect their interests and their children’s well-being.
We start with a free consultation where you’ll speak directly with one of our certified mediators. We’ll assess your situation, answer your questions, and explain exactly how mediation can work for your specific circumstances.
During mediation sessions, both you and your spouse meet with our neutral mediator in a private, confidential setting. We facilitate productive conversations about custody, support, and property division. You make the decisions—we simply guide the process and ensure everything is legally sound.
Once you reach agreements, we draft a comprehensive settlement that prevents future disputes. We handle all court filings and ensure your mediated agreement becomes your official divorce decree. Most couples complete this entire process in just a few months.

Your flat-fee mediation includes everything from initial consultation through final judgment filing. No hidden costs, no billing surprises, no hourly fees that spiral out of control.
We handle child custody arrangements, spousal support calculations, and property division—including the complex asset valuations that Orange County’s fluctuating real estate market demands. Our team includes forensic accountants and appraisers when needed.
For Browning residents dealing with Tustin area properties, we understand local market conditions and how they impact settlement negotiations. We also provide post-judgment mediation services if you need to modify custody or support arrangements down the road. Every agreement we draft is designed to prevent future conflicts and costly attorney fees.
Mediation typically costs between $2,000-$5,000 total for the entire divorce process, while traditional litigation can easily exceed $15,000-$30,000 per spouse. We have helped hundreds of Orange County couples save an average of $10,000 compared to going to court.
We use transparent, flat-fee pricing so you know exactly what you’ll pay upfront. This includes all mediation sessions, document preparation, and court filings. Unlike litigation where attorney fees can spiral out of control, mediation gives you cost certainty from day one.
Yes, mediation is specifically designed to help couples work through disagreements. Our certified mediators are trained in conflict resolution and have extensive experience helping couples find common ground on even the most contentious issues.
The key is having a skilled mediator who understands both family law and effective communication techniques. We create a structured environment where both parties can express their concerns and work toward solutions that protect everyone’s interests. Even if you can’t agree on everything, mediation often resolves most issues, saving time and money on the remaining disputes.
Most couples complete mediation within 2-4 months, compared to 12-18 months or more for contested litigation. California requires a six-month waiting period from the time divorce papers are filed, but mediation allows you to resolve all issues well before that deadline.
The timeline depends on the complexity of your assets and how quickly you can reach agreements. Simple cases with cooperative parties can sometimes be completed in just a few sessions. More complex situations involving businesses or significant assets may take longer, but still resolve much faster than court proceedings.
While most couples successfully complete mediation, it’s not right for every situation. Cases involving domestic violence, substance abuse, or one party’s complete unwillingness to negotiate may require traditional litigation for protection and fairness.
If mediation reaches an impasse on certain issues, you haven’t wasted your time or money. Any agreements reached during mediation can still be incorporated into your final divorce decree. You can pursue litigation only for the remaining unresolved issues, which still saves significant time and costs compared to litigating everything.
Yes, mediated agreements have the same legal force as court orders once they’re filed with the court. We ensure every agreement complies with California family law and includes all necessary provisions for enforcement.
The mediated settlement becomes your official divorce judgment, with full legal authority for matters like child support collection, custody enforcement, and property transfers. Courts actually prefer mediated agreements because they’re typically more detailed and tailored to your specific situation than standard court orders.
Both spouses need to voluntarily participate in mediation for it to be effective. However, one person can certainly initiate the conversation and schedule a consultation to learn about the benefits and process.
Often, the reluctant spouse becomes more interested once they understand the cost savings, privacy benefits, and increased control that mediation provides. We offer free consultations where both parties can ask questions and understand exactly how mediation works. Many couples who initially hesitate choose mediation once they see the advantages over costly, public court battles.
