Friendly Divorce Mediation in Colorado

At the Center for Non-Adversarial Divorce, I also offer a special service called Options for the Marriage in Difficulty for those who want to explore options besides divorce or counseling. Options for the Marriage in Difficulty helps you explore all of your possibilities in an open and respectful way that often leads to creative agreements and real solutions. For a free 30-minute telephone consultation, contact my office today.

You can use Friendly Divorce Mediation to help you come to agreement about property division, responsibility for debts, maintenance (alimony), your parenting plan (custody, visitation), and child support.

You can use it to decide whether your want to divorce, legally separate, or make a marital agreement that would allow your marriage to continue. In more than twenty years in divorce mediation, I've discovered that couples with marital difficulties tend to think they have only two options: counseling or divorce. There are many other options, and you can explore those in mediation.

You can use Friendly Divorce Mediation to change or modify child support or your parenting plan as needed after your divorce.

The Divorce Mediation Process

Mediation is the process of coming to agreement with the help of a third-arty neutral–the mediator. Arden Hauer mediates with divorcing couples who want to cooperate to reach agreement amicably, peacefully. Divorce agreements cover property and debt division, parental responsibilities (parenting time, decision making, custody, visitation), child support, and maintenance (alimony), as well as taxes, health insurance, and life insurance.

When you reach agreement, Arden puts it in writing, and you can then use it as your separation agreement in court.

The Benefits of Friendly Divorce Mediation

Mediating your divorce in a friendly way gives you the opportunity to:

• Plan your separation and divorce logistically, financially, and as responsible caring parents.
• Save money, time, and emotional energy, by avoiding expensive and prolonged antagonism.
• Do important tax planning, a significant money saver for most couples, and usually overlooked in the typical divorce process.
• Increase commitment to your agreement by developing it yourselves, together, rather than having it imposed upon you by a judge. Most people don't like to be told what to do.
• Reduce anger by negotiating successfully through turbulent times with the help of an experienced neutral.

The Mediation Process

The timing is up to you. You can move as fast or as slowly as is appropriate for both of you. Most coordinate their mediation with the court's timing requirements. Some couples are already in general agreement, and just need to have it put in writing.
