Mediation is a structured negotiation process managed by a neutral third party: the mediator. A mediator is a neutral, trained professional who facilitates communication between the parties, helping divorcing couples communicate, resolve conflicts, and reach mutually acceptable agreements about their divorce without going to court.
Our mediators do NOT make decisions for the couple, provide legal advice, take sides, or force a resolution. Instead, they guide the process, ensure balanced dialogue, and help couples find their own collaborative solutions.

The ultimate goal of divorce mediation is to help the individuals reach a fair, mutually satisfactory agreement on all aspects of their separation—including property division, child custody, and financial matters—in a cooperative, cost-effective manner that minimizes conflict and preserves relationships, especially when children are involved.
When preparing for mediation, carefully gather all necessary documents related to your case, including financial records and relevant correspondence. Most people choose to be counseled and assisted by their own family law attorney through the mediation process. You are encouraged to thoughtfully identify your priorities and goals for the mediation process, and come to mediation prepared to discuss your case openly and honestly with your attorney and the mediator.
Your MBH mediator will provide clear, consistent communication throughout the mediation process. You can expect timely responses to your questions, honest conversations about your case and its potential outcomes, and a personalized approach.
We are committed to maintaining sensitivity when addressing complex and potentially sensitive issues, ensuring you feel supported, heard, and confident throughout the mediation process. Our goal is to guide you through this challenging transition with professionalism, empathy, and a strategic focus on achieving solutions.
