When can we start our divorce mediation?
You can start this at anytime, even before you file.
Who can I call for help?
Best Law Firm (480) 219-2433.
What is special about Best Law Firm?
We care. Our attorneys have witnessed the devastation that conflict causes families. We recognize that a spirit of cooperation is a lifelong gift that families can give to themselves.
What are some helpful personal documents to bring into mediation?
All of this will be addressed at the initial meeting with the mediator. Each party is under the full disclosure requirements of the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure, including Rule 49.
Are there areas of family law that cannot be mediated?
Substance abuse and domestic violence are issues that are not generally suitable for mediation.
What if we cannot make an agreement during mediation?
If all outstanding issues cannot be resolved in the mediation process, the court will have to decide them. The mediator cannot represent either party if the mediation fails, nor can either party use any settlement negotiations as evidence in court under Arizona Rules of Evidence, Rule 408, and the family law rules.
Who will prepare the mediation agreement documents?
Best Mediation Services provides document preparation services, including Rule 69 Agreements (Memorandum of Understanding) that memorialize the parties’ agreements, the petition and supporting documents to initiate your case in the court, and draft and file consent decrees, parenting plans, and property settlement agreements to finalize your case.
When is mediation successful?
Mediation is successful when both parties are active, willing, and cooperative in the mediation process. The parties must have a desire to compromise and find a resolution. In addition, the parties must act in good faith, be professional and listen to the other party.
If I’ve already filed for divorce, can we still mediate?
Yes, mediation is an option for parties’ even if they have already filed for divorce. Often times, parties may decide litigation is not cost-effective or that with the help of a third party they can resolve their issues without the long, expensive litigation process.
