Divorce Mediation: A Simple and Private Way to Handle Divorce
Divorce can be tough, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At CA Mediation Group, we specialize in mediation, a process that helps couples work through their divorce peacefully. With over 25 years of experience, we make sure you stay in charge of important decisions about your family and your future.
What Is Mediation and Why Choose It?
Mediation is a way to work together to agree on things like dividing property, deciding custody schedules, and setting up support payments—without going to court. It’s a much simpler and more private process than fighting in court.
Here’s why so many people choose mediation:
- You stay in control: You and your spouse make the decisions, not a judge.
- It’s private: Everything stays between you and the mediator—no public courtroom drama.
- It’s faster: Most cases settle much quicker than traditional divorces.
- Less stress: Mediation helps reduce fighting and focuses on finding solutions.
How Divorce Mediation Works
At CA Mediation Group, we guide you through every step of the mediation process. Here’s what to expect:
1. Free Consultation
We start with a meeting to understand your situation and explain how mediation works. This is where we answer your questions about the divorce process in California and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward.
2. Mediation Meetings
During mediation, our trained mediators help you and your spouse talk through important issues and find fair agreements. These may include:
- Dividing property and debts
- Setting up custody schedules
- Child and spousal support
- Any other matters important to you
We’re here to keep things calm and focused so you can reach agreements that work for both of you.
3. Preparing Legal Forms
Once you’ve reached agreements, we handle all the paperwork for you, including:
- Divorce petitions and responses
- Custody and visitation plans
- Support agreements
- Financial documents
4. Filing and Serving Documents
We’ll file everything with the court for you and handle serving papers professionally. There’s no need for awkward visits from sheriffs or process servers—we do everything in-office to keep things private.
5. Finalizing Your Divorce
In most cases, you’ll never need to go to court. Once the judge approves your agreement, you’ll receive your final divorce judgment, and the process is complete.
Keeping Control as Parents
One of the best things about mediation is that you stay in control of parenting decisions. When custody decisions are made in court, a judge may:
- Decide how you can discipline your children
- Set strict schedules that are hard to adjust
- Take away flexibility in co-parenting decisions
With mediation, you and your co-parent can create a plan that fits your family’s unique needs. You’ll have the freedom to adjust schedules and make decisions together, without worrying about court interference.
