FAMILY MEDIATION SERVICES

As neutral facilitators, we listen and help people in family conflicts explore options, improve communication and find a settlement that works for everyone involved.

PRE-NUPTIAL NEGOTIATIONS / DIVORCE / CUSTODY

• 75% less expensive than litigation

• $10,000-$50,000 minimum INITIAL retainer v. $8,000-$30,000 mediator fee TOTAL

• Confidential and private

• On your time schedule, not the court’s

• Tailored to your family’s needs and private

• Someone listening to your side of the story can help you feel heard and understood

We have helped numerous families in high-conflict situations resolve their differences and peacefully enter into marital settlement agreements to be filed in the Court. Some had the assistance of outside attorneys and others did them on their own “pro bono.”

PARENTING PLAN MEDIATION

• We help you maintain the focus on the children’s best interests

• Tailor your personal schedule and needs to the children’s needs

• Improves relationships before, during and after the divorce

• Minimizes court time saving time, money and emotions

We work with both parents and their attorneys (if needed) to prepare and finalize a solid and workable parenting plan to assist divorced, divorcing and never-married parents during separation and divorce.

RESTRAINING ORDER / DVRO MEDIATION

• REAL TALK has helped individuals privately deal with very sensitive issues subject to a DVRO/Restraining Order and resolve the disputes

• This has become the weapon of choice for many family law and criminal law attorneys but is not always the best method to use. Sometimes it is a very good and needed procedure to protect the parties and children.

• We have helped many families navigate this delicate issue and work with law enforcement and other agencies
