Charlotte Divorce Mediation Attorney

Some state statutes and local rules require attempts of mediation on certain family law claims. One of the common ways to meet the mediation requirement is to participate in a private mediation with a certified mediator, and an attorney to represent your best interests.

The certified mediator serves as a neutral party whose goal is to assist both parties in reaching a settlement to resolve their case. In some cases, parties can settle all issues; in other cases, settlement can be reached on specific issues (i.e. child custody and child support), while the remaining issues are left unsettled (i.e. alimony and property distribution). The unsettled issues would proceed to trial in Court.

Mediation is an opportunity to resolve your divorce disputes in a way that is acceptable to you without the delay and risk involved in long and drawn out litigation and trial. Divorce mediation can take place at any time before or after your separation from your spouse.

Finding an Experienced Charlotte Divorce Mediator

Mediated settlement conferences are informal proceedings. Your mediator will meet with you, the other party, and your attorneys to help both of you discuss your disagreements. The mediator will work to open channels of communication, help clarify both parties’ needs and positions, and explore settlement options with both of you. Unlike a trial, mediations are not open to the public.
