Chase, Berenstein, and Murray, Counselors at Law

Burlingame, California, Divorce Mediation Attorney
The purpose of divorce mediation is to control your situation by taking the outcome of your divorce out of the judge’s hands. The judge was not a part of your relationship. The judge will never understand your situation as well as you do. Divorce mediation gives you the chance to spend time in an open dialogue to determine the best way to proceed. Finding a solution that fits your individual situation is the purpose of divorce mediation. If you are interested in resolving your divorce through mediation, contact me to determine what your options are.

Lisa Murray, California Divorce Mediator
In divorce mediation, the spouses meet together with a neutral mediator, whose role is to facilitate discussion and provide broad-based, unbiased advice. Apart from the mediator, the meeting is strictly confidential, and is in that way similar to collaborative practice approaches to divorce. The mediator informs the couple about what the law might provide them, and pinpoints areas where an expert such as an accountant or mental health professional may need to be brought in for consultation.

Although neither spouse can have an attorney present in the meeting, it is often beneficial for each to have consulting counsel with whom they can meet before and after the meeting. Their lawyer can help them strategize to figure out a settlement and review the agreements and pleadings to make sure they are correct.

If you are facing a divorce and feel you might want to resolve it through mediation, contact me, divorce mediation attorney Lisa Murraytoday.
