How California Divorce Mediation Works

How California Divorce Mediation Works

I want to let you know on this video that some people call us because we’re just a Paralegal Firm.

They know we can’t give legal advice or represent them in court.

So we usually will work with people who have Amicable cases or somewhat amicable.

I want to let you know you don’t have to have all your agreements in place to use our services and here’s why.

The question becomes ‘Tim, what happens if we start using your service and we run into a little difficulty in coming up with the agreements and we get stuck?’

And it does happened. So what we do is we would refer you out to a third party Mediation Service.

It’s someone that we worked with closely who’s also has an affordable business of where they can sit down with you and help you mediate your issues whether it’d be one issue such as spousal support or maybe you guys are in agreement on anything.

That’s what the Mediation is for. They’ll help you establish a line of communication if you’re not communicating well.

And then they’ll help you come up with the agreements on foundation of what’s fair.

Mediation when you have issues or unable to come to decisions on your own regarding the terms of your Divorce Mediation is a fantastic solution.

It keeps the parties talking and you guys will come up with the best. The decisions will be the best interest for both of you with no real winners or losers.

So yes you can use our service even if you don’t have agreements in place.

Part of the process is Mediation if that’s not the case if you’re unable to come up with agreements on your own.

So just keep that in mind. I want to share that with you because a lot of people are unaware that Mediation Services exist.

I love to hear from you.

 

188: Does Divorce Mediation Make The Divorce Take Longer

In this episode, we will talk about divorce mediation and does divorce mediation make the divorce in California longer.

So does Divorce Mediation make the Divorce take longer?

No. If anything it’s a lot shorter. It’s a lot quicker. I think we’ve discussed in other topics about the litigation.

And the attorneys and the court dates can drag on for months, sometimes years just trying to get in to see the judge, just trying to get the paperwork filed, getting their spouse to respond.

Mediation in three sessions, you know, if you want to spread them out in two months, we could have it finished from beginning to end.

And with what your company does, you take that agreement and you file it.

And, yes, there is six months period of waiting. The cool off period of whatever from the time you file until it’s settled. But you can easily get it done within the six months if not quicker but then you still need to wait for that six months period to be done.

California Divorce | Overview Of The California Divorce Process

California Divorce | Overview Of The California Divorce Process

I just want to give you a brief overview of what you’re looking at when going through Divorce in California.

When you use a service like ours or should I say when you use our service specifically we break the Divorce process down into three steps because trust me you won’t be happy if we throw everything at you at once.

Number one if someone has to decide either you or your spouse who’s going to file for Divorce. Once the paperwork is filed it needs to be served.

So we’ll prepare the initial documents. You guys decide who’s going to file be the filing party. We’ll file the paperwork.

We’ll get your case issued and the other party will need to be served which we’ll also take care of doing.

We have to get those documents into the other party’s hands either by personal service.

We can do it by mail and there’s some other ways we can go back doing that. That’s step one.

Step two is that parties have to complete all their financial disclosures. There are lots of financial disclosures.

Aside from children Divorce is going to be all about dividing up your property. Your assets, your debts, your house, your IRAs, your cars, your bank accounts, all of that.

We’ll help prepare that for both parties. Then we have to come up with the agreements.

You have to let us know who’s getting what, what are you doing with the kids.

Is there going to be spousal support, child support? We will put all those agreements into the final paperwork which is called the judgment.

And once you guys will sign that we’ll submit that to the court and your case will be complete.

That’s how easy it can be. Call us because everyone has specific circumstances.

So within those guidelines give me a call. I’ll be happy to answer your questions specific to your scenario.

And then we can help you with your Divorce in California. Please call us I’ll be happy to help you with your case.

187: Is Divorce Mediation For Wimps

In this episode, we will discuss divorce mediation and if divorce mediation is for wimps.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to use this one but I thought it would bring a good topic.

So this myth is mediation is for wimps. So the question here is Divorce Mediation for wimps?

And the one reason I want to bring this up is because I think this is a guy thing. It’s obvious it’s not a girl thing or a woman thing.

I think you’re weak if you’re just going to let somebody else take control of your life. And tell you what you’re going to do with your life.

So I think if you have it in you, you have to have a lot of strength and a lot of willingness to commit to the process to be able to work it out to where it’s worth it for everybody involved in the end. So I think it’s not for wimps.

It’s for somebody who wants to make sure that everybody comes out fairly pole at the end of the process.

186: Do Divorce Lawyers Understand Divorce Mediation

In this episode, we will talk about divorce lawyers and if they do understand divorce mediation.

The myth was all Divorce lawyers understand and support mediation.

So I turned this into, do divorce lawyers understand Divorce Mediation? And we can answer that in a couple different ways.

No, I don’t think they understand the pure process of mediation. They just have had a different training and different mindset.

A lot of attorneys, a lot I think I’ve mentioned before have gone through the mediation training in order to retain more clients.

And they understand that this is something that is becoming more popular and people are actually looking towards.

185: Does Divorce Mediator Decide What’s Fair

In this episode, we will talk about if divorce mediator does decide what is fair for both parties.

The myth was in mediation the mediator decides what’s fair.

Have you ever had that as a concern, so, I post the question, does the divorce mediator decide what’s fair during divorce mediation?

You know what absolutely not! We do not make any of the decisions.

And a really good mediator will remember that from the beginning until the end. Our job is to ask really good questions, lots and lots of questions.

So if you see something happening and see like maybe the balance, the power is tipping a bit without jumping in and rescuing the other party and it could be either party.

It could be the wife taking control and manipulating and then or it could be not it could be either way.
