What Is Divorce Mediation?

Divorce mediation is a voluntary and confidential process where a neutral mediator, or, at Kales & Kales, husband and wife co-mediators, Jonathan and Amy Kales, help spouses reach agreements on issues such as:

• Property and asset division

• Child custody and parenting plans

• Child support and spousal support

• Separation agreements and uncontested divorce terms

At Kales & Kales, mediation is designed to keep decision-making in the hands of the people who know their family best—not a judge.
