Mediation provides couples a safe confidential place to discuss and resolve conflict leading to an equitable settlement. The mediator is an impartial neutral encouraging parties to use open and honest communication to resolve conflict. A Prenuptial Agreement, also known as premarital or ante-nuptial agreement, is a contract between two parties prior to marriage that specifies how property, debt, and assets are to be divided in the event of divorce, death, or separation.
If you and your spouse can negotiate either together, or through your respective attorneys, to resolve all the issues and come to an agreement on all the terms, then you have an uncontested divorce and you can file a Joint Petition for Divorce. If you have minor children, you will need to decide how to co-parent during your separation and following your divorce.
You will also need to decide the legal and physical custodial arrangement. Same sex couples can litigate or mediate their divorce to resolve the issues of division of assets and liabilities, custody, parenting schedules, medical insurance and child support.
