Settle Finances

You and the mediator will work through many different financial details including child support, spousal support, and insurance obligations. At the end of mediation, you should both understand what your obligations are now and in the future.

Handle Taxes
While we will not pay your taxes for you, part of the mediation process is to examine how your taxes will be impacted by your divorce. This also helps ensure that the person who has not been handling the finances of a failed marriage understands where they stand. Sometimes missed deductions are spotted by our experts allowing divorcees to amend their tax returns and get extra money. During this part of the mediation process, couples should each understand how to file their taxes for the upcoming year.

Prepare the Divorce Settlement
After all the lively discussion and decision making, the mediator will then prepare the divorce settlement. This paper is one of the most important steps because it prepares a judge to grant the divorce to the parties. It should outline each of the points agreed upon during the mediation. Take your time reading this document, and make sure that you understand each point in it.

Signed by a Judge
There is no need to appear before a judge when you use a mediation service. You will get your divorce decree in the mail after a judge has signed off on it. If the judge has any questions, then your mediator will answer those questions freeing you to move on with your life.
