Mediation

A Place for Peaceful Solutions

Santa Ana, CA Alternative Dispute Law Firm
The emotional and financial costs associated with the end of a marriage can have a devastating toll on families and children. When it comes to litigating a divorce, bitter and spiteful legal disputes can only increase the costs and intensify the emotional stress.

As the divorce rate has increased, litigating a divorce has remained the most emotionally difficult and costly option for terminating a marriage. Atop the already difficult burdens of divorce, individuals considering litigation may face costs resembling 1-5 weeks of lost employment, loss of control over daily life, costly witness fees, the involvement of relatives and friends, and repeated appeals to a court’s decision—with no guarantee of reaching a desirable outcome to disputes over child custody or property distribution.

If you are considering a divorce or dealing with family law matters relating to divorce, the Law Office of Judith A. Williams offers expertise in the alternative dispute resolution approaches of Mediation and Collaborative Law. Contact Ms. Williams, an experienced mediation attorney, to resolve your divorce without resorting to costly, bitter court battles.

Orange County, CA Mediation Services
Since 1996, Ms. Williams has focused on the continuing trend of divorce mediation. Unlike litigation, mediation is a process of facilitated negotiation, allowing parties to work together to address their interests fairly and at reasonable, flat fees.

Mediation is a voluntary process requiring the cooperation of both parties. The process allows individuals to actively negotiate while a mediation attorney provides legal information and neutrally facilitates communication between the parties. The process can help the parties reach a fair agreement on issues such as property division, debt assumption, child custody, visitation, child support and modification of existing orders.

While divorce remains emotional and upsetting for individuals and children, Mediation can help create a foundation for continuing cooperation. With attorney assistance, post-divorce arrangements are crafted by couples themselves, allowing creative, individualized problem solving to fit the needs of individual families.  

If you are considering a divorce, contact the Law Offices of Judith A. Williams. In today’s world, Ms. Williams is proud to help individuals reach “win-win” solutions for all parties involved, especially the children.
