A Place for Peaceful Solutions

At the end of every marriage, families face overwhelming emotions and complicated decisions that have a life-long impact on every member of the family. When divorcing spouses cannot reach an agreement on important issues related to child custody, visitation, support, and property division, the parties often turn to litigation in California courts. At the Center for Mediated Divorce and the family law practice of Elizabeth Jones, Attorney at Law, we understand that litigation offers no guarantee of reaching your desired outcome and can result in significant financial cost and emotional frustration.

Orange County, CA Alternative Dispute Resolution
Unlike litigation, alternative approaches, such as Mediation and Collaborative Family Law, provide couples with the assistance of effective professionals to help reach a fair agreement that protects the interests of individuals, families, and, most importantly, children. Contact my Mediation and Collaborative Law practice to discuss the legal alternatives for approaching your divorce.

California Mediated Divorce
Mediation is a process of facilitated negotiation that allows individuals to come together without the representation of attorneys and attempt to settle the important decisions that accompany divorce. Rather than rely on the aggressive litigation skills of a trial attorney, a divorce mediator oversees the process neutrally, providing information and facilitating communication among the parties.

While the end of any marriage remains emotional and upsetting, Mediation can help families craft a divorce settlement that accommodates the particular needs of each spouse and the children. When deciding whether to approach dissolution through Mediation, it is important to know that an attorney is a neutral party and cannot favor one side or the other. Mediation requires communication and cooperation of the parties, but results in a more child centered resolution.

As an experienced divorce mediator, with continuous extensive training, I can help you find the right alternative for your family.
