Mediation

Mediation is a great way to go. Mediation works when both spouses want to keep it cool and out of court. We’ll begin your case by making a joint appointment and taking the best path to settlement. Mediation requires two components.

The first is “Communication”… where you and your spouse share information at arm’s length, the way that I’m talking to you right now. If you can come to agreement at our office, then you have the foundation for keeping your case out of court.

The second component is “Knowledge.” You have to have a knowledge of all your financial affairs. From there, we’ll apply family laws, and craft what is best for your children in light of widely accepted principals of childhood development.

We use a controlled format taught by the Northern California Mediation Center more than 10 years ago. Four appointments and you are done, in most cases. No one goes to court and our success rate is over 90%. The cost is modest and divided by two. We’re Scott Family Law. Let us come along side and help you.
