The Process of Divorce Mediation

Divorce mediation has many advantages over a litigated divorce. Drs. Jerry Lublin, Victoria Beech and Joette Warren are divorce mediators who over the past ten years have successfully helped many couples to separate and divorce without the expense of two lawyers and without the constant friction and fighting at home that characterize a divorce in which both spouses think in terms of "the best deal."

Find the Negotiating Points

In a mediated divorce, every aspect of your divorce is discussed and agreed upon by both spouses. With our expertise in family issues, we know how to protect your children and your assets as well as how to minimize the impact of divorce on you.

When there is disagreement, your mediator will help you find the negotiating points that make the difference between a successful divorce agreement and one which ends in anger, frustration and hostility. Through our mediation process, both you and your spouse feel protected because there is agreement at each step along the way.

You are Directly Involved

We help you reach an agreement that is uniquely suited to you and that you have negotiated. We help you make good decisions even in moments of stress.

Control is Crucial

You and your spouse remain involved with every aspect of your divorce agreement. There is no right or wrong answer in divorce. We help you look at your situation and then help you reach an agreement regarding:

- your parenting plans
- your financial planning
- equitable distribution

Costs are Contained

The legal costs of two lawyers, one representing each of you, can quickly deplete your savings. Telephone calls, conferences and meetings can add up to many thousands of dollars. In contrast, The Divorce Mediators meets with both of you together. Issues of importance are focused on, discussed and resolved. This direct approach is both more satisfactory and more cost-effective.

Your Children are Protected

When you meet with Jerry, Joette or Victoria, your children will never become pawns in an often destructive divorce. We are psychologists as well as divorce mediators who respect the right of children to have happy childhoods. We have mediated many divorces in which novel solutions have been forged to protect the rights of children to enjoy a relationship with both of their parents.

Privacy is Paramount

Your right to privacy is protected by us.

Our pledge and obligation to you as psychologists is to maintain your privacy.
