When your family fabric is being torn apart, mediation is often superior to in-court litigation. Mediation offers you and your family privacy from the view of the public eye. In addition, you are able to tailor a solution specifically for your family. This dramatically contrasts with the decision a commissioner or a judge may give you after viewing just a snapshot of your family.
Initial issues – including filing for divorce – are appropriate and sometimes best addressed with mediation. Regardless of when you determine to mediate your family law matter, the Snohomish County Superior Court requires mediation of cases before a trial can start. If you are able and willing to think “outside the box” and to protect your family’s best interests, then mediation may be an appropriate solution for you and your current or former spouse.
We believe the best consumers of legal services are well-informed clients. Therefore, we have a client library that includes materials about surviving the divorce process, guiding your child through the often trumatic process, addressing financial issues and resolving post-divorce issues.
