You’re divorced in six months, not two years. Your kids aren’t traumatized by courtroom battles, and you actually saved money instead of hemorrhaging it to attorneys.
Your ex-spouse becomes a co-parent you can work with, not an enemy you fight. You kept your private business private, made your own decisions about your family’s future, and walked away with a fair agreement that actually makes sense for your situation.
The whole process happened on your schedule, in a comfortable setting, with a mediator who understood both the law and what you were going through. No surprises, no hidden fees, no judge who spent five minutes learning about your family before making life-changing decisions.
We’ve been helping Orange County families navigate divorce without the courthouse drama. We’re not just mediators—we’re family law specialists who understand what you’re facing and what actually works.
We’ve seen too many families destroyed by litigation when mediation could have preserved relationships and saved everyone time, money, and heartache. That’s why we built our practice around transparent flat-fee pricing and a process that puts you in control.
Modjeska families deserve better than the one-size-fits-all approach of family court. We know this community values privacy, fairness, and protecting children from unnecessary conflict—and that’s exactly what our mediation process delivers.
First, we meet for a consultation where you tell us about your situation and we explain how mediation works. No sales pitch, no pressure—just clear information about your options and what to expect.
Then we schedule your mediation sessions. Both spouses meet with our neutral mediator to discuss the issues that need resolving: property division, child custody, support, and anything else specific to your family. We facilitate the conversation, but you make the decisions.
Once you reach agreements, we draft the settlement documents and file them with the court. The whole process typically takes a few months instead of years, costs a fraction of litigation, and results in a legally binding divorce decree that both parties helped create.

Our flat-fee mediation covers everything you need for a complete divorce: property division, child custody and support, spousal support, and all required court documents. No hourly billing, no surprise charges, no additional fees for “extras.”
Orange County couples are dealing with some of the highest divorce costs in California, but mediation changes that equation completely. While your neighbors might spend $30,000 each on attorneys, you’ll resolve everything for a fraction of that cost.
We handle complex situations too—high-asset divorces, business ownership, custody disputes, and modifications to existing orders. The difference is we do it through collaboration instead of combat, keeping your family’s best interests at the center of every decision.
Divorce mediation in Orange County typically costs $3,000-$8,000 total, split between both spouses. Traditional litigation averages $15,000-$30,000 per person.
That means mediation can save you $20,000-$50,000 compared to going to court. Our flat-fee structure eliminates hourly billing surprises, so you know exactly what you’ll pay upfront. Most couples find mediation not only saves money but also preserves relationships and reduces stress on children.
Most divorce mediations in Orange County resolve within 2-4 months, compared to 12-24 months for contested litigation. California requires a six-month waiting period from filing to finalization, but mediation allows you to complete all negotiations and paperwork well before that deadline.
The timeline depends on complexity and cooperation, but even high-asset cases typically finish faster through mediation. You schedule sessions around your availability instead of waiting for court dates, which speeds up the entire process significantly.
About 70-80% of divorce mediations result in full agreements, but if you reach an impasse, you haven’t wasted time or money. Any agreements reached during mediation can still be used, and you maintain the option to pursue litigation for unresolved issues.
Many couples resolve most issues through mediation and only litigate one or two remaining points, which still saves significant time and money. The mediation process often improves communication even when full agreement isn’t reached, making any subsequent legal proceedings more efficient.
Mediation is often the best choice when children are involved because it focuses on collaboration rather than conflict. California family courts actually require mediation for child custody disputes, recognizing its effectiveness in creating workable parenting plans.
Children benefit when parents can communicate respectfully and make decisions together about custody, visitation, and support. Mediation helps establish co-parenting relationships that continue long after the divorce is final, reducing ongoing conflict that can harm children’s emotional well-being.
The mediator cannot provide legal advice to either party, but many couples successfully complete mediation without separate attorneys. However, you have the right to consult with an attorney at any time during the process or have one review the final agreement before signing.
For complex financial situations or when you’re unsure about your rights, consulting with an attorney can provide valuable guidance. The key is that mediation keeps legal costs minimal while ensuring you understand your options and make informed decisions about your family’s future.
We specialize exclusively in family law mediation with transparent flat-fee pricing that eliminates billing surprises. Our mediators have extensive training in both conflict resolution and California family law, ensuring you get expert guidance throughout the process.
We focus on preserving family relationships while ensuring fair outcomes, particularly important for Modjeska families who value privacy and protecting children from unnecessary conflict. Our approach emphasizes practical solutions that work for your specific situation, not cookie-cutter agreements that ignore your family’s unique needs.
