Divorce Mediation in Paulding County

Helping Couples in Cobb County, Douglas County & the Atlanta Metro Area

Mediation, also referred to as "alternative dispute resolution," is an increasingly common approach to achieving a final settlement in a divorce. While divorce is a legal action which cannot be completed without going through the court, it is still fundamentally a personal matter between two people, as they work to separate their financial affairs, make plans for the future of their children and bring an end to a chapter in their lives.

If you and your spouse bring a contested divorce to the court, there is a good chance that you will be referred to a mediator for assistance in resolving the issues involved in the dissolution of your marriage. In that case, our firm is prepared to help.

Is Mediation Right for Me?

The couples who do best in mediation are those who are capable of constructive and respectful communication with one another, and who are both sincerely dedicated to achieving a settlement which is in the best interests of both parties, rather than in taking an adversarial approach.

Mediation Can Be Used to Resolve Modifications

While modifications to child support, custody, visitation, and other divorce arrangements must be sanctioned by a court, this does not mean it can be a collaborative, mutual process. Parents can use mediation to negotiate the terms of a modification to ensure that the order is fair for all parties involved. This can save extra time, trouble, and expenses when a modification petition is contested or turned down as a result of hasty preparation. Our divorce attorneys in Paulding County may use mediation not only to help spouses through divorce negotiations, but also with modifications to divorce agreements.
