Mediation

What Does The Mediation Process Look Like?

The only parties involved in mediation are you, your spouse and your mediator. The mediator will guide your discussions with your spouse in all areas of your divorce or family law matter. These issues may include a parenting plan for your children, support, asset division and debts with the goal of reaching a mutual agreement.

What Are The Benefits Of Mediating Your Divorce?

Mediation is typically more cost-effective, and it will give you and your spouse control over the final arrangements – rather than a judge who may not know your unique family situation. Depending on your circumstances, mediation may also speed up your divorce process.

Why Should I Work With An Attorney Who Is Also A Trained Mediator?

An attorney like Robbin Vanderwoude, who is knowledgeable in Illinois family law, has the ability and experience to address all of the issues needed to resolve your divorce. The mediator assists you in reaching an agreement and you and/or your spouse will then need to retain an attorney in order to finalize your divorce in court.
