Mediation is a good option if you and your partner can agree on a neutral person to assist both of you in reaching an agreement. The mediators at Evans Mediation & Arbitration are all trained lawyer mediators and have extensive experience with helping families resolve conflict using dispute resolution processes that are not court-based.
In the mediation process, the mediator is a neutral professional. The mediator’s role is to work with both spouses to explore mutual interests and to help you reach an agreement. The mediator cannot give legal advice to either spouse, but a mediator with legal training and family law experience can provide useful information that can help you and your partner reach a mutual agreement.

Voluntary process
Mediation is a voluntary process and requires commitment from both spouses to a process that is focused on resolution without going to court. It is well-suited for those interested in a confidential and cost-effective process.
