What Issues Can Be Addressed in Divorce Mediation?

Divorce is a life-changing event that often comes with a wave of emotional and logistical challenges. However, the process does not need to be adversarial. Divorce mediation is a highly constructive and cost-effective alternative to traditional courtroom battles, focused on fashioning real solutions for separating couples. At Divorce PRO Wisconsin, we provide full-service, all-inclusive, mediation packages starting at just $750.00 per party. Through our filing to final hearing approach, our experienced divorce mediators provide the guidance you need from the start of your case until your case is completed. The key issues that can be effectively resolved through divorce mediation are as follows:

1. Division of Property and Assets

One of the most significant issues in a divorce is property division, dividing the assets and liabilities that make up the marital estate fully and fairly. In divorce mediation, couples work together to determine the disposition of the family home, the ownership of vehicles, the division and distribution of bank accounts, retirement funds, investments, other items of value, and of course, personal belongings. Through cooperation and collaboration, parties are better able to create tailored solutions that work for both of them.

2. Child Custody and Parenting Plans

Divorce mediation is an ideal setting if you prioritize the well-being of your children. All divorcing parents are required to address certain key issues, including physical placement  (i.e., where children will reside) and legal custody (i.e., decision-making authority). An experienced mediator will help parties create a workable schedule that supports both parents’ involvement in their children’s daily lives, including education, healthcare, and extracurricular activities. At Divorce PRO, our goal is a co-parenting plan that ensures stability and consistency for your children.

3. Child Support

Child support can be one of the most difficult issues to resolve in a divorce. However, a highly skilled and experienced mediator can help parents achieve a workable compromise, initially by making sure both parties are considering the best interests of their children. At Divorce PRO, our mediators take a universal approach to child support. Instead of focusing primarily on each parent’s income, we encourage parties to look at the larger picture, which includes the needs of the children; health insurance, and uninsured healthcare expenses; the apportionment of variable expenses, such as childcare and education costs; and even non-monetary contributions. Through this collaborative process, both parties can be confident that they are only paying their fair share.

4. Spousal Support (Alimony)

If spousal support, also known as maintenance or alimony is also at issue, a well-trained mediator can help parties come to terms by reviewing with them the factors judges will consider when making spousal support determinations, such as the length of the marriage, each party’s earning capacity and/or financial needs, and the contributions made by each spouse during the marriage.

5. Filing and Final Paperwork

Our comprehensive mediation packages include guidance in preparing sound legal documents, the application of proven mediation strategies to help you settle your case quickly and fairly, and plenty of information to help you fully understand the hows and whys of the divorce legal process.
