Why Choose Divorce Mediation Over Litigation?

Traditional divorce litigation can be expensive, drawn out, and adversarial. Couples often spend months — even years — fighting in court, only to leave with strained relationships and overwhelming legal bills.


Divorce mediation offers a better way:

  • Faster resolution, often in just a few sessions.
  • Significant cost savings compared to hiring two attorneys.
  • Confidential, private discussions (not public court records).
  • Focused on collaboration, not conflict.

Whether you’re seeking an amicable divorce in Monterey or want to explore a divorce without a lawyer, mediation empowers you to move forward respectfully, affordably, and on your own terms.

Our Divorce Mediation Process

Our process is simple, structured, and designed to keep your dignity intact.

  • Step 1 – Divorce Planning & Facilitation

    If you’re unsure where to begin, we start with an educational planning session. This meeting helps identify areas of agreement, clarify issues in dispute, and outline an informal plan for resolution.


  • Step 2 – Mediation Sessions

    As neutral mediators, we guide respectful conversations to help both parties find common ground. Our role is not to take sides, but to create a safe, balanced environment where solutions can be reached.

  • Step 3 – Legal Document Filing

    Once an agreement is reached, we prepare and file your paperwork with the court. In many cases, you won’t even need to appear in court — saving you time, stress, and expense.
