Family Law Mediation

Serving Pomona, Pasadena and Los Angeles

Mediation is a process where a neutral third party helps parties resolve issues like child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support and property division according to the needs of their families. This process is often significantly less stressful and more cost effective than litigation.

Resolve Family Disputes Through Mediation – No Court Required

With 13 years experience, Julianne mediates between two spouses or parents in an informal setting. Her role is to discover what matters most to each party and help the parties navigate through their disputed issues.

The end result of mediation is usually a written stipulated agreement signed by both parties, which makes court attendance unnecessary.

 

Because Julianne is a family law attorney, she gives information regarding the laws and statutes, including likely outcomes, better enabling parties to weigh their options. She remains a neutral third party, and doesn’t make decisions or choose sides but rather facilitates  compromises that work for both sides.​

 

A family mediator might be right for you.

FAMILY MEDIATION

Serving Pasadena, Los Angeles, and the Inland Empire

When it comes to child custody, mediation is designed to help divorcing or unmarried parents reach an agreement on legal and physical custody of their children without the pain and expense of a traditional contested court hearing or trial.

Why Choose Mediation Over Litigation?

Mediation is an alternative way to resolve divorce and parenting disputes without the stress, expense, and uncertainty of a courtroom battle.

Less Stress & Expense: Mediation helps divorcing or unmarried parents reach agreements on child custody without the pain and expense of a contested court hearing or trial.

 

Faster Resolution: A litigated divorce can take upwards of five years in some cases. Mediation provides a much faster track to a final agreement, often settling in one to three mediation sessions. 

 

More Control Over Outcomes: Mediation allows the parties to make important decisions regarding their children, assets, and debts instead of relying on a judge.

 

Legal Guidance Without Court Battles: Because Julianne is a family law attorney, she provides legal information about relevant laws and likely outcomes, helping parties make informed decisions.

 

Neutral & Fair Process: As a mediator, Julianne remains a neutral third party, facilitating compromises without taking sides.
