Mediation

We at Farrar Mediation recognize that divorce is a traumatic experience. Tragically at a time when children need them most, parents are often grappling with their own issues and emotions. The last place these personal and emotional issues should be aired is in a court of law. We will help you to come to decisions of your personal choosing that would be best for your family. We will empower you and give you options so that you may know the best outcome.

What can I Mediate?

Even if you relationship with your spouse is irreparable, you may still be able to complete your entire divorce in mediation. As an experienced divorce lawyer and trained mediator, I can help divorcing spouses file the necessary paperwork to start the divorce action, mediate contested issues, and prepare the Martial Settlement Agreement to finalize the divorce.
