A divorce marks the end of one chapter in your life, but with the right tools, you should be able to get a fresh, fast start on the next chapter! Don’t let a drawn-out court battle keep you from beginning your new life — you can negotiate or mediate your Separation, Custody and Property Settlement Agreement without setting foot in a courtroom. A divorce attorney with 20+ years experience will guide you through a comparison of mediation and negotiation and provide mediation and negotiation tips you can use. The workshop will also cover strategies and pitfalls to avoid as well as a thorough discussion of each issue that needs to be addressed in your Agreement, from property to support to custody.

Program fee may be applied to an initial mediation session.
