What Is a Collaborative Divorce?

A collaborative divorce allows you and your spouse to part ways peacefully. By working together to keep all parties best interests in mind, you can settle all of the issues at hand without the need to involve a judge or go to court.

What Is a Cooperative Divorce?

The purpose of a cooperative divorce is to use mediation to serve your family's best interests. With this type of divorce, you have four-way meetings between each spouse and their lawyers, while other parties and any judges are kept out of the process.

Can You Help Me with an Annulment?

Absolutely. Obtaining an annulment can be difficult without an Orange County divorce mediator. You must meet certain qualifications to secure an annulment, such as if you believe your spouse misrepresented themselves, or you were a victim of fraud.

How is Asset Division Handled?

Asset or property division is most often handled by a 50/50 split, based on the value of marital assets. We can work with you to determine which assets will go to whom and we may be able to find any hidden assets if they exist.

What if We Own a Business Together?

If you own a business with your spouse, there are very particular steps we will need to take. The division of a business in the divorce process can be complex, but we can work with you to find an agreeable solution.
