Carlsbad & Ramona, CA Mediation Lawyer

Not all divorces or family law disputes need to go through the expensive, time-consuming, and divisive process of litigation. Mediation offers an alternative that leaves you and the other party in control of negotiating an agreement that you both can live with and gives you the privacy of working it out away from the public arena of the family court. 

At Erica Bloom Law, we are here to provide you with effective and efficient resolutions to your family law issues. Mediation can essentially give you a way to resolve your disputes without creating further discord but with positive communication designed to promote compromise and mutual agreement. In some cases, you may be ordered by the court to engage in mediation as a preliminary step that can avoid lengthy court battles. No matter the circumstances, whether court-ordered or a method you prefer as a more dignified and peaceful way to reach agreements, we can help.

Mediation Services in Carlsbad & Ramona

Mediation is the process of coming together to resolve your dispute with the help of a trained mediator as a neutral third party whose role is to facilitate the negotiation process. Mediation can be used to resolve family law disputes, such as child custody, marital property division, move-away (relocation) cases, and more. 

You will meet with the other party as supervised by the mediator with the shared goal of finding common ground upon which to create the terms of an agreement that will work for all concerned. You will generally meet in a neutral and safe space, such as an office, where discussions will be private. 

Mediators do not make decisions for you but help guide your discussions to make it easier to work out your differences toward creating acceptable settlement terms. They can pose questions or suggestions but the ultimate decisions will be up to you and the other party. 

The benefits of mediation are many, as follows:

• It is less expensive 
• It is faster because you are not subject to court schedules
• You and the other party remain in control of decisions, as opposed to being subject to the dictates of a judge
• Agreements are more comprehensive and customized to you
• The process fosters better communication between parties which forms a stronger foundation for future co-parenting or problem-solving
• The process is confidential

To succeed in mediation, both parties have to be willing to cooperate, meet the other party halfway, communicate in positive ways as opposed to finding fault, and be open to a compromise that will work for the benefit of all. Mediation takes commitment and will work as well as the parties are committed to the process.
