Naperville Family Law Attorney/Mediator
Every divorcing couple faces important decisions like child custody, spousal support and property division and must find a way to come to agreement about these important matters. Some couples are able to remain amicable and open to negotiations, while others cannot come to an agreement without some form of assistance.
For couples that remain amicable, mediation offers an alternative dispute resolution approach. In mediation, a neutral third party assists a couple in working together to make decisions needed to get a divorce. The mediator's role is to get both parties in conflict to take a careful look at the issues, options for resolution, and work together to construct an agreement that is fair to both parties and makes sense for the parties and their children.

A mediator must remain neutral and does not issue binding decisions. The role of the mediator is to facilitate discussion and compromise on important divorce issues, including:
- Child custody and visitation
- Custody and parenting time
- Property division
- Maintenance and spousal support
If a couple goes through mediation and does not resolve key issues, their next option is to pursue a contested divorce, which is often longer and more costly than mediation.
