Divorce is the ending of a marriage, which involves dividing the things owned together and deciding who will have custody of the children.
Child custody is about making the best plans for decision-making and physical care of a child when their parents no longer live together.
Paternity is about establishing a parent's rights and responsibilities to a child born when the parents weren't married.
Adoptions occur when one or both parents are unavailable or unwilling to provide for the health, welfare and safety of their child. Adoptions allow a third person(s) to assume the role of the parents. When an adoption is granted, the child's birth certificate is changed to reflect the adopting person as their natural parent.
We provide legal services for drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements. Our attorneys will work with you to ensure that your prenuptial agreement is legally binding and that your assets are protected in the event of a divorce.
Our role as your lawyer advocate is to gather all the necessary information necessary to support you in litigating or negotiating your case. While resolving a case outside of Court is usually the best course of action in family law cases, we are not afraid of the courtroom and have been litigating cases for over 3 decades.
Let's dive into the steps involved in a typical mediation process. It begins with scheduling an initial consultation with a mediator, where you'll discuss your concerns, goals, and expectations.
During the mediation sessions, you will be guided through open discussions, encouraging dialogue and helping you explore various options. The process is collaborative, allowing you to maintain control over the outcome and make decisions that align with your unique circumstances.
Throughout the process, the mediator's empathetic and professional guidance will ensure a supportive environment as you work toward a fair resolution.
Kimberly Canova's mediation process aligns with the key principles of mediation, focusing on open communication, collaborative problem-solving, and reaching mutually satisfactory outcomes for the parties involved.
We’ve honed this process over 30 years and have helped more than 100 couples divorce amicably.
The Benefits of Mediation over Litigation
Considering these factors, embracing mediation can lead to a more peaceful and mutually satisfactory outcome for all parties involved.
A mediator doesn't have the power to officially end your marriage - only a judge can do that. So, even if your mediation goes well, there are still a few more steps you need to take to finalize your divorce. Once you've completed mediation and reached an solution with your spouse, you'll need the court to review and approve your settlement document. Once that's done, the court will issue the final divorce decree.
When looking for a skilled mediator for your divorce, consider the following key points to ensure you find the right professional to guide you through the process:
Choosing mediation for your divorce is a powerful step towards achieving a peaceful and amicable resolution. By prioritizing collaboration, open communication, and tailored solutions, you can minimize the emotional and financial toll often associated with litigation.
If you would like to discuss how mediation might benefit all parties, please schedule a Mediation Consultation to learn more. Please keep in mind, even though we are a law firm, if we are consulting regarding mediation we cannot offer legal advise.
We value the trust our clients give to allow us to help them work through very difficult times in their lives.
We value communication because words, not wars, solve problems.
We value family, as parents of 3 children, because the dynamics of each household need personal attention, not court intervention.
