Family law, divorce, and/or custody mediation is an informal settlement process that brings the parties together for purposes of trying to reach a resolution. Both parties are given time to discuss their differences with the goal of reaching a solution that is uniquely suited to their family and/or situation. This process is an alternative to going to court. It is beneficial in that it costs less than traditional litigation and is less confrontational so it helps parties to maintain their relationships despite their disputed issues.  Amanda is a family law mediator and also represents individual clients in mediation.

Collaborative law has been touted as the child-friendly, kinder, gentler way to get a divorce. The collaborative approach saves time and money while striving to preserve a civil relationship between the parents for the benefit of the children. The crux of a collaborative law case is that the parties agree that they will resolve their issues without going to court. In order for the parties to participate in this process, both must hire attorneys who, like Amanda, are certified in collaborative law.
