Comprehensive Mediation
Collaborative Process with Evans Family Law & Mediation Services
This service offers the benefits of working with a lawyer-mediator and family mediator to make decisions on what is important for your family.
At the end of the process, you will have a Comprehensive Separation Agreement that is ready for Independent Legal Advice and can result in an uncontested divorce or separation; avoiding the lengthy, divisive, and expensive process of litigation.
Family Mediation-Arbitration
For some cases, Mediation Services also offers Family Arbitration. Arbitration is a faster and less formal way of solving disagreements outside of court when mediation is not possible.
Family Arbitrators are neutral, well-trained family lawyers with at least 10 years of experience. They must be agreed upon by both parties to act as their decision maker.
The arbitrator hears all evidence and then makes a decision that must be followed.
Mediation is preferred over arbitration
Mediation Services always starts with mediation as it gives both parties better control over their choices. We also know arbitration is necessary when an agreement can’t be reached.
