Why Mediation?
Divorce Isn't Easy.
By hiring a mediator, you and your soon to be ex, can work through issues in a logical and focused manner using a neutral divorce expert to guide you. You, and not a judge, will be able to decide what’s best for you and your family. Mediation provides a timetable that allows a more thorough discussion of issues in a peaceful manner. And Attorney Boettcher takes care of drafting all court required documents, including:
- The Divorce Petition
- Financial disclosures
- The Marital Settlement Agreement
- Child support documents
- Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law & Judgment of Divorce
- Wisconsin Vital statistics form
You Don't Have to Go It Alone.
Attorney Boettcher guides parties through the complexities of divorce, assisting, facilitating and encouraging parties to reach a mutual agreement. She provides guidance about the law and answers all of your questions. Some of the benefits of Mediation include:
- Puts your children and family first.
- Much more affordable than litigation.
- Saves you time and stress
- Gives you more control over the outcome of your divorce.
- Covers all divorce issues such as tax implications, real estate transfers, division of retirement assets, child placement, child support and insurance issues.
Things to consider
Is Mediation Right for You?
Mediation is what’s called an “Alternative Dispute Resolution” process. The “dispute” is your divorce and, rather than litigating the dispute at a court trial, mediation allows you and your spouse to discuss all of your concerns, get your questions answered and thoughtfully design a divorce agreement that is right for you.
Likely a good fit if...
- You want an expert to answer all of your questions and guide you through the divorce process.
- You and your spouse may have some disagreements, but are willing to work together.
- You want the relief of having an expert draft and file all required documents.
Not a good fit if...
- You want to spend a lot of money in legal fees; OR
- You want to use the court system to punish your spouse; OR
- You believe divorce is an easy DIY project.
