How Does Mediation Differ From Litigation in Carrollwood, Florida?
Divorce mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party, Beth Reineke, in our office’s case, helps spouses agree on issues such as property division, child custody, and support.
Litigation involves resolving disputes in court, where a judge makes decisions for the divorcing couple if they cannot agree.
Our skilled Carollwood mediator/attorney guides couples to understand mediation’s advantages, reassuring all participants that court litigation is not the sole path to resolving divorce or family law matters.
Mediation can bring relief and peace of mind. It empowers you with the knowledge that you control the process, reduces your anxiety, encourages you to use your voice in decision-making, and allows couples to reach agreements that reflect their unique needs and circumstances.
This approach instills a sense of hope and optimism, knowing that positive relationships can be maintained even in challenging times, alleviating your apprehensions about the future.
We understand that every situation is unique and are here to listen and understand your needs. Our ultimate aim is to help you move forward without the fight so everyone involved can maintain their dignity, respect, and confidence and begin their next steps on the right foot. We can help, starting with an initial phone consultation.
