First Steps in Divorce Mediation
Attorney Severance offers a non-threatening, open environment for couples looking to get divorced. She offers a detailed approach to understand clients' background information, including their living situation and whether or not children are involved. Her initial work also begins with helping clients account for all of their assets, as well as current and future debts.
Initially, she helps couples identify and prioritize critical needs. The divorce mediation process starts addressing pressing needs, such as:
- Who is going to pay the bills?
- Who is going to stay in the house?
- Who is taking the children to soccer practice on Thursdays?
Lawyer Severance is conscious of saving couples money. After the first meeting, she gives couples a check-list outlining items they can do on their own. She empowers couples to feel in charge of their future, while emphasizing that she will be available at every step to guide them.
Divorce Mediation: Phase II
This stage allows both sides to hear what they other one wants. Attorney Severance helps couples find common goals and periodically brings them back to their goals when conflicting opinions arise.
We then focus on the reality of the couple's situation. This hands-on approach helps couples discuss child support, child custody and property division options. Attorney Severance guides couples to look into the practicalities of each option, while making sure all of the details are covered. Once both sides agree, she writes up the divorce settlement to be reviewed and finalized.
