Our Divorce Mediation Process Helps Families Navigate The Challenges Of Divorce With Children. Here Is The Process:

Phase 1 - Finances

I have developed a comprehensive budget worksheet to help couples assess their available cash flow for support. This tool enables the payee to understand their needs and the payor to evaluate their ability to contribute. If you continue to disagree, then the second choice is our court-approved software program, which accurately calculates support amounts.

With our streamlined approach, we provide you with confidence and creative solutions throughout the process, ensuring both parties understand their financial obligations. Let us guide you through this important aspect of your settlement, ensuring clarity and fairness. Schedule a consultation with us today and take the first step towards achieving financial clarity and a harmonious resolution.

Phase 2 - Co-Parenting

I prioritize children's needs and well-being in my practice. As an educator at the Edmund D. Edelman Children's Court in Los Angeles County Superior, I've developed a detailed Parenting checklist and different schedules for each child's age and growth. By working with child experts, we aim to cover all aspects of parenting and avoid future conflicts, so your children stay happy and you can co-parent smoothly.

In short, we have special skills to help parents deal with the difficulties of divorce, especially when children are involved.

Phase 3 - Using the Equity/Gain Financial Form

What makes my practice unique is how I help clients deal with the complexities of the marital home during a divorce with understanding and expertise. I have a step-by-step approach for examining the equity and capital gains tax on the house, giving clients important information to make decisions. We calculate the Net Equity by understanding the Gross Equity and subtracting the cost of selling the house. I also take the time to explain potential capital gains and the taxes involved. It's crucial to be well-informed and think about the outcomes before finalizing any agreements.

With my caring guidance, clients can confidently handle house-related issues during their divorce. I understand that it can be tough emotionally and practically, so I'm here to support them through the process.

To sum it up, my practice is special because I bring empathy, expertise, and a clear approach to analyzing equity and capital gains tax for the marital home in a divorce. By providing valuable advice and compassionate support, I help clients make informed choices and effectively manage house matters throughout their divorce.

Phase 4 - Comprehensive Settlement Proposal Review

When it comes to settling a divorce, it's really important to have a comprehensive approach. That means considering all the different parts together instead of just focusing on one thing at a time. By doing this, you can see the bigger picture and understand what you might gain by giving up something else.

Settling one thing at a time in a divorce can be risky because it doesn't think about how different parts are connected. For example, if you only divide assets first and deal with debts later, it could lead to unfair or complicated results. That's why it's crucial to go back and talk about all the issues from the beginning if someone changes their mind.

Comprehensive settlement means looking at the whole financial picture, including things like property, savings, investments, and debts like loans or credit card balances. By considering everything together, you can make better decisions that are fair for everyone involved.

Having a comprehensive settlement is important because it lets you handle all the different parts of the divorce at once. It reduces the chance of problems coming up later if you only focus on one thing at a time. By considering everything together, you can make fair choices that are right for you. It's also important to keep track of what you agree on and finalize everything properly, so you can move forward with confidence and not worry about issues popping up later on.
