You’re not fighting over scraps of time with your kids anymore. Instead of spending years in court battles, you’ve resolved everything in weeks. Your bank account isn’t drained by legal fees, and you can actually have a civil conversation with your ex about the kids’ soccer schedule.
The agreements you’ve made aren’t just pieces of paper—they’re clear, practical solutions that work for your real life. When questions come up later, you know exactly what was decided and why. You’ve preserved the relationship you need for co-parenting, and your children aren’t caught in the middle of ongoing conflict.
Most importantly, you maintained control over the decisions that affect your family’s future instead of handing that power to a judge who doesn’t know your situation.
We serve Orange County families who want to handle their divorce with dignity and intelligence. We specialize in divorce mediation, family dispute resolution, and post-judgment modifications, offering certified family law specialists who understand the unique dynamics of Mid-City families.
With extensive experience in Orange County family law, we provide the legal expertise needed to create agreements that actually last. Our team maintains a network of forensic accountants, psychologists, and appraisers to ensure comprehensive support when complex issues arise.
Our transparent, flat-fee pricing model eliminates the financial surprises that come with traditional litigation, making professional mediation accessible to families throughout Mid-City and the broader Orange County area.
Your mediation starts with a free consultation where you’ll discuss your situation and understand exactly what mediation can accomplish for your family. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a straightforward conversation about whether mediation fits your needs.
During the orientation session, your mediator explains the process and discusses your expectations. You’ll understand the ground rules, timeline, and what you need to prepare. Joint mediation sessions follow, where both parties discuss issues and explore options in a structured, professional environment.
We facilitate communication but don’t make decisions for you. Instead, we guide you toward practical solutions that reflect your family’s unique circumstances. When you reach agreements, they’re documented in legally sound language that prevents future misunderstandings. The final step involves filing the necessary paperwork with the court to make your agreements official.

We handle the full spectrum of family mediation needs, from initial divorce proceedings to post-judgment modifications. Our services include child custody arrangements, spousal support determinations, property division, and legal separation agreements.
In Orange County, where the average divorce costs each party over $8,000 through traditional litigation, mediation provides a flat-fee alternative that typically saves families thousands of dollars. Our confidential process allows couples to address sensitive financial and custody matters without public court records.
Our post-judgment mediation services help families modify existing custody, child support, and spousal support orders when circumstances change. This collaborative approach minimizes conflict and avoids the expense of returning to court, particularly valuable for Mid-City families who need ongoing flexibility in their arrangements.
Divorce mediation in Mid-City typically costs between $3,000-$7,000 total, split between both spouses. This is significantly less expensive than traditional litigation, which can cost $15,000-$30,000 per spouse in Orange County.
We use a transparent flat-fee pricing model with no hidden costs or surprises. The exact cost depends on the complexity of your assets, custody arrangements, and how quickly you can reach agreements. Most couples save an average of $10,000 compared to going through the court system.
Unlike hourly attorney fees that can quickly spiral out of control, you’ll know your total investment upfront. This makes mediation accessible to families who want professional guidance without the financial stress of prolonged litigation.
Most divorce mediations in Orange County resolve in weeks or months rather than the years that litigation can take. Simple cases may be completed in just a few sessions, while more complex situations involving significant assets or custody disputes might require additional time.
The timeline depends largely on how prepared you are and your willingness to work collaboratively. When both parties come ready to negotiate in good faith, many issues can be resolved in single extended sessions. Compare this to traditional divorce litigation, which averages 12-18 months in Orange County courts.
Mediation moves at your pace, not the court’s schedule. You can schedule sessions around your work and family commitments, and there’s no waiting months for court dates or dealing with continuances that delay resolution.
If mediation doesn’t result in complete agreement, you haven’t lost anything—and you’ve likely made progress on many issues. All discussions during mediation are confidential, so nothing you say can be used against you if you later go to court.
Many couples find they can resolve most issues through mediation, even if one or two matters need court intervention. This partial success still saves significant time and money compared to litigating everything. You can also return to mediation later if circumstances change or you want to try again.
We don’t make decisions for you, so there’s no risk of having an unfavorable outcome imposed. You maintain complete control over whether to accept any proposed agreement. If mediation doesn’t work, you still have all your legal options available, including traditional litigation or collaborative divorce.
Mediation is often ideal when children are involved because it focuses on collaboration rather than conflict. The process helps parents develop practical parenting plans that truly work for their family’s schedule and the children’s needs.
Unlike courtroom battles that can damage co-parenting relationships, mediation helps preserve the working relationship you’ll need for years to come. Children benefit when their parents can communicate respectfully about school events, medical decisions, and schedule changes.
Orange County courts actually require mediation for custody disputes, recognizing that parents usually know their children’s needs better than a judge. We understand child development and can help you create age-appropriate schedules that serve your children’s best interests while respecting both parents’ rights and responsibilities.
We combine certified family law specialists with extensive Orange County experience, ensuring your agreements are legally sound and comprehensive. Unlike paralegals or general mediators, our team has the legal expertise to spot potential problems and craft agreements that prevent future disputes.
We maintain relationships with forensic accountants, psychologists, and appraisers who can provide expert input when complex issues arise. This network ensures you get comprehensive support without having to coordinate multiple professionals yourself.
Most importantly, we use a transparent flat-fee pricing model that eliminates financial surprises. You’ll know your total investment upfront, and the focus remains on reaching practical solutions rather than running up billable hours. Our commitment to impartiality means both parties feel heard and respected throughout the process.
Yes, professional mediation can effectively handle complex financial situations, including business valuations, retirement account divisions, and multiple properties. We have access to forensic accountants and appraisers who can provide expert analysis when needed.
The key advantage in complex cases is that mediation allows for creative solutions that courts might not consider. You can structure property divisions, spousal support, and tax considerations in ways that benefit both parties rather than being limited to standard court remedies.
Complex cases do require more preparation and potentially additional sessions, but the cost savings compared to litigation remain substantial. High-asset divorces through the court system can easily cost $50,000-$100,000 per spouse, while comprehensive mediation typically costs a fraction of that amount while providing more tailored solutions.
