If you and your spouse are able to agree to mediate, our team can work with you and come up with a divorce settlement using the assistance, guidance and expertise of a divorce mediator.
The divorce mediator’s role is different from that of a family law attorney. A family law divorce mediator will work to facilitate an agreement between spouses but will not provide legal advice to either spouse.
Since mediation is a voluntary process, you and your spouse must first agree to mediate. You do not need to be in agreement on divorce issues to choose mediation. The mediator’s role will be to provide you with information so that you understand the issues involved in your divorce and to help you and your spouse work through these issues so that you can make your own decisions without involving the Court. In order to engage in mediation, you and your spouse must agree and be willing to share all pertinent income and asset information and must be willing to be civil and participate in coming up with creative solutions.
Mediation is confidential and one of the benefits is that your personal issues will not be aired in court rooms and publicly accessible court files. Your children will also not be exposed to all the negatives that come with a contested traditional divorce. This is often one of the reasons why our clients choose to retain us to design their own divorce solutions.
If you have questions pertaining to the benefits of mediation and getting started on the mediation process, call the attorneys at The Sperling Legal Group at 818-205-9090.
Certain issues can still be modified even after your divorce judgment is granted. These include child custody and visitation, child support, and spousal support. Therefore, if circumstances change, it may be possible to modify the orders in the Judgment.
The important element necessary to get a modification of a divorce judgment is that certain changes have occurred since the judgment that warrant a change in the original orders. An example of such change would be a job loss that involves a significant drop in income or sudden accident where a parent is disabled and no longer able to care for the children.
The Sperling Legal Group attorneys can assist you with the modification process, even if we did not represent you in your divorce proceeding. Call our office today at 818-205-9090 to schedule a no-charge consultation regarding a post judgment divorce modification.
The simplest definition of a high net worth divorce is a divorce involving a client who has a considerable amount of wealth amassed – generally speaking, this would be someone with at least $5 million in liquid assets.
