Divorce And Family Law Mediation: Control Your Outcome

The mediation process provides the parties to work together to resolve their differences. With more than 100 years of combined experience, the attorneys at Schmidlkofer, Toth, Loeb & Drosen, LLC, have helped countless clients throughout southeastern Wisconsin.

From our office in Wauwatosa, we help families throughout the Milwaukee metro area and beyond, reach settlement agreements in their divorce or family law case. Through mediation, our family law attorneys help you find solutions that make sense for your specific situation. At our firm, you can expect open, honest and professional communication.

What Are The Benefits Of Mediation?

There are many benefits to resolving your case using mediation. The benefits of mediation include:

• Save time: The mediation process is scheduled at the parties’ convenience, rather than the mercy of the court’s schedule. This allows you to reach a decision much more quickly than litigation.
• Lower costs: In addition, saving time also saves the parties money in costly fees.
• Keep control: In mediation, the parties work together to reach a solution.
• Maintain privacy: Mediation proceedings are private, whereas court proceedings have a public record.

Besides being timely, mediation can also be more cost-effective. Going to court also means you are giving up some control. While a judge can listen to your concerns, there is no guarantee that things will turn out your way. In mediation, we can all work together to reach a common ground.

Preparing For Your First Family Mediation Session

Proper preparation can help you make the most of your mediation appointment. Gather financial documents like tax returns, bank statements and pay stubs before you arrive. Come to your mediation with the following:

• Financial records: Bringing documentation of your income, assets and debts
• Parenting concerns: Identify your schedule preferences and decision-making priorities
• Open mindset: Staying willing to listen and explore creative solutions

Think about your priorities and what matters most to you in the outcome. Consider your children’s needs and how different arrangements might affect them. Your attorney can review these materials with you beforehand and discuss realistic goals for your session.
