A Different Approach to Divorce Resolution

Litigation vs. Mediation

Divorce Mediation vs. Divorce Litigation in San Diego

Couples often see divorce litigation as their only option. In divorce litigation, judges are empowered to determine individuals' fate without fully knowing their back story. Each side has so much at stake. This is a huge gamble that often ends up destroying relationships for a lifetime.

At Divorce Options, we find creative solutions to traditional problems. Divorce mediation is designed to place couples at the center of the negotiation process. With the help of a mediator, couples openly discuss viable solutions in a non-threatening environment.

Since 1997, attorney Carol Severance has represented clients looking to get divorced. She applies her in-depth background in divorce law to ensure every detail is covered when helping couples reach more amicable solutions through divorce mediation. Contact us today to schedule free initial half-hour consultation and discover if mediation is right for you.

Divorce Alternatives

In divorce litigation, lawyers represent their clients' interest in a series of hearings before a judge. Each side works hard to present a strong case, often vying for child custody, or residency in the family home. Naturally, emotions escalate, often ruining relationships and affecting children caught in the middle.

We understand that divorces are emotionally sensitive. To make divorce mediation work, she sets simple expectations up front. Couples are not expected to step into the mediation process agreeing on every factor, but each side needs to be open to working together.

Divorce Meditation Offers a Unique Solution

Mediation is an effective alternative to divorce litigation. Couples benefit from mediation in a variety of ways, such as:

  • Adapts to your budget
