Alternative Resolutions to Divorce in Diamond Bar & Surrounding Areas
For many clients, a collaborative divorce provides the best solution to an unfortunate situation, especially when children are involved. At the Morris Law Firm, our mediation lawyer aggressively represents the interests of our clients, but he will not destroy a family in the process. Mediation is an ideal way to resolve legal conflicts without having to drag the entire family through the court system.
What Are the Benefits of Mediation?
In addition to mediation being a less invasive and less stressful process on the family unit, this method of dispute resolution affords each party more control over the outcome of their case. Our philosophy is that the parties are almost always better off reaching a resolution themselves, rather than having a judge make important decisions for them. Typically, couples who are able to collaborate and reach a mutually agreed resolution find the process less stressful and are in a better situation to resolves issues that may arise further down the road.
During mediation, each spouse is represented by an attorney while a neutral, third-party mediator directs the process. Our mediation attorney is available to represent clients for a wide range of family law matters, including:
We have a reputation for being impartial and facilitating healthy communication between the parties to lead to a mutually successful resolution.
How to Prepare for Mediation
Whether you attend mediation for divorce or another family law matter, it is important to prepare in a similar fashion. Taking a positive approach to your session will have a greater impact than being pessimistic.
That said, here are some helpful tips for your upcoming mediation session:
- Always exercise your due diligence by collecting data and information for yourself. This includes information regarding the mediator and the issues of the case.
- Prepare your arguments with legal support. If you already come with evidence to defend your case, then it will be hard for the opposing side to disagree.
- Expect the unexpected and prepare to compromise. You may not hear what you expected, nor what you wanted to hear, but it is important to keep an open mind so that both sides can come out victorious.
