Goals of Divorce Mediation

The goal in divorce mediation is to provide clients with the information and process they need to reach an informed decision about their divorce that conserves their financial resources, minimizes anxiety and increases rather than decreases communication. This is accomplished in the following ways:

The mediator provides clients with information about Massachusetts divorce law.

The mediator provides clients with a detailed list of the issues they will need to address in their separation agreement.

The mediator meets with the clients together and helps facilitate communication.

The mediator provides clients with a detailed packet of court documents and forms that they will need to file their divorce in court.

The mediator provides clients with a detailed letter at the end of the mediation explaining what happens in court, what the judge will ask, where to go, what to file  and what to expect.

The mediator will draft a divorce agreement for the clients when they have reached an agreement which they can take to court and present to the judge.
