Michigan Firm Providing Effective Divorce Mediation Services
Divorce and courtroom litigation are stressful processes. Combining the two can seem overwhelming for spouses and their children. Fortunately, an effective option exists for couples who want to avoid courtroom stress when their marriage ends.
At Core Legal PLC, I deliver professional mediation services for divorce and other family law matters for couples in the Grand Rapids area and throughout Western Michigan. I am Chris Wirth, founding attorney of Core Legal PLC. Using the knowledge gained conducting mediations throughout Michigan, I offer comprehensive guidance through this alternative dispute resolution process to help parties settle divorce and family law issues such as custody, child support, alimony and property division.
What Are The Benefits Of Divorce Mediation?
Whether you are close to a marital settlement agreement or far apart on divorce terms, a certified mediator can help you dissolve your marriage while avoiding unnecessary problems. There are significant advantages to the mediation process, including:
- Control – Instead of working on the court’s schedule and dealing with their procedural requirements, spouses decide when to meet and what needs to be discussed.
- Cost savings – Litigation costs can mount quickly, potentially causing financial problems that last long after the marriage has concluded. During mediation, parties can limit what they spend to a great extent.
- Privacy and stress relief – A public courtroom is an uncomfortable place to discuss the personal issues often associated with divorce. A mediator allows clients to speak openly in a private, dignified setting.
Many states have recognized how useful mediation is when a married couple breaks up, so they require mandatory divorce mediation. Whether you’re seeking assistance on your own or at the court’s behest, I have the experience and knowledge to provide valuable support.
My Approach To The Divorce Mediation Process
With me as your mediator, you can be confident in my deep background in family law. I will help you find equitable solutions to the most entrenched disagreements. Though I am a neutral party and not permitted to provide legal counsel, my unbiased approach helps everyone better understand the key legal issues. I will work diligently to ensure that consensus is reached so that both spouses can move forward, confident that the outcome meets their needs.
I understand that divorce is a challenging time. My role is to create a respectful and constructive environment, encouraging open communication and mutual respect. Each session focuses on resolving specific issues, such as property division, child custody and support arrangements. I guide discussions to keep them productive and focused on solutions.
My approach is to facilitate understanding and compromise. I help clarify legal terms and concepts, ensuring both parties fully grasp their implications. I maintain confidentiality, allowing both parties to speak freely and honestly. Throughout the process, my goal is to reduce conflict and stress, fostering a more amicable relationship post-divorce, which is particularly beneficial for future co-parenting.
Choosing mediation often leads to quicker resolutions and lower costs compared to traditional litigation. My commitment is to help you achieve a resolution that respects both parties’ needs and interests. If you are ready to move forward with divorce mediation, I am here to assist you every step of the way.
