Divorce Mediation

What is Divorce Mediation?

Divorce mediation is a voluntary settlement process used frequently and successfully by married couples, who want a divorce, and by domestic partners who want to separate.  Divorce mediation gives couples the option to plan their futures rationally, and in an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual respect.  With the assistance of a trained mediator from Back to Yes, you can reach an agreement that is custom-made for your family, your finances, and your future.

Additionally, divorce mediation is a voluntary, cooperative process in which the neutral professional helped you make practical, informed decisions to resolve your differences. With the guidance of professional divorce mediator, Melissa Back, you’ll work together through a series of orderly steps to create a fair and reasonable agreement.  As the mediator, Ms. Back will help you define the issues to be settled, gather and analyze the necessary information, and help you both communicate effectively during the mediation.

After evaluating your options, you – and only you – make the decisions that become the agreement.  The goal of a successful mediation is to reach an agreement that is custom-made for your family, your finances, and your future.   The outcome is solely in your hands and not those of a judge, who does not know specifically what is best for you and your family.  At the conclusion of the mediation process, you will have a full and complete Memorandum of Understanding or Mediated Settlement Agreement to be reviewed and filed with the court by the attorney of your choice.

Mediation provides a confidential process, that creates an open and safe atmosphere to discuss your past, present, and future desires.  Unlike a litigated divorce, mediation ensures that the details of your divorce do not become public record. Divorce mediation can also be a transformational process, rather than an ugly, contested fight.

Let Back to Yes help you get past this difficult time in the most painless way possible with our divorce mediation services.  For inquires, please call (832) 372-9060.
