Frequently Asked Questions

Is mediation more cost-effective than court?

Chevron

Most times, mediation is more cost-effective than court, as it is faster, more direct, and doesn't involve the delays of court hearings. Most people prefer mediation as it is confidential and handled in a more comfortable setting and is more likely to result in a harmonious outcome in the end, which benefits both parties.

How much spousal support will I have to pay?

Chevron

The amount of “temporary” spousal support (i.e., spousal support pending the divorce decree) that is paid is often determined by a mathematical formula based largely on each party’s income. However, there is no formula for determining “permanent” spousal support (i.e., spousal support ordered in the divorce decree). Instead, the amount of permanent spousal support is based on several statutory factors, including:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The paying spouse’s ability to pay spousal support
  • The needs of each spouse based on the standard of living during the marriage
  • Each spouse’s earning capacity
  • Each spouse’s age and health
  • Evidence of domestic violence
  • And more

How is child support determined?

Chevron

Child support in California is based on mandatory statewide guidelines that involve a complex calculation that takes into account the number of children, how much time each parent spends with the children, each parent’s income, and other factors. Therefore, there is no concrete answer in determining child support until these factors are accurately determined and have been presented to the court.

What are the benefits of mediation?

Chevron

There are many great benefits of mediation, including:

  • It is handled in a confidential and comfortable environment
  • It is often more efficient and less costly than litigation
  • It is mutually beneficial, as the result is something both parties have agreed to, rather than something imposed by judge against at least one of the parties’ wills
  • It can result in a more harmonious outcome in the end, which benefits both parties
  • It is generally faster than litigation

Can information from mediation be used in court?

Chevron

No, information from mediation generally cannot be used in court.

Divorce is never easy, but it doesn't have to be contentious or destructive. One approach gaining popularity among couples seeking a more peaceful resolution is collaborative divorce. Unlike traditional litigation, where a judge decides the outcome, collaborative divorce offers a structured environment for negotiation and cooperation, allowing both parties to work together toward mutually agreeable solutions.
