An Introduction to Mediation
Divorce mediation is a confidential, problem-solving process in which a neutral lawyer mediator guides a couple through all necessary decisions and documents needed for a divorce or separation. You and your partner meet together with the mediator to gather information, discuss options, and create your own mutually acceptable agreement for court approval.
Mediation is lower cost and quicker than an adversarial court process while providing professional support to avoid the risks of do-it-yourself. The goal of mediation is to help couples make informed decisions and reach an amicable resolution.
Family Mediation Center provides the help you need to make the best family and financial decisions as you navigate separation and divorce.

"My ex-husband and I used Paul Stenzel through the family mediation center to do a collaborative divorce and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. Paul was unbelievably skilled at getting us to agree on things that were initially very contentious such that, in the end, I believe we were both happy with the way things worked out."
"Going into this divorce and deciding what to do and how to start the process was both intimidating and nerve wracking for both my ex wife and I. Paul and the staff at FMC made this process fluid and were very kind and straightforward with everything. He did not take sides and helped us both with decision making that benefited the family as a whole and for that we are forever grateful."
