Mediation Or Settlement Negotiations For Sensible Divorce Solutions

Some divorces are accomplished with minimal legal maneuvering. This may be possible when spouses agree on how they will divide assets and, if they have children, how they will co-parent. In many other cases, however, significant disagreements persist over how to divide property or how to implement a parenting plan. Resolving those differences can be accomplished in several ways:

  • Negotiations

  • Collaborative law
  • Mediation (formal, third-party mediation or informal mediation facilitated by our attorneys)
  • Trial

Bandoske & Butler, PLLC, is equipped to manage any path to divorce efficiently and in our clients’ best interests.
