Mediation has successfully resolved thousands of disputes in all areas of the law including those that involve a wide array of financial stakes and emotional interests. However, no other subject matter regularly evokes such deep and varied emotional considerations as do family law and family wealth matters.
WHY MEDIATION?
As the California Legislature has already espoused, mediation is very beneficial in family law cases, where custody and children’s visitation arrangements are in dispute. There is a growing trend to utilize alternative dispute resolution tools in dissolution actions involving individuals with somewhat greater wealth. However, these tools have been less widely used to resolve the thorny and sometimes very emotional issues surrounding the identification and distribution of community property, quasicommunity property, separate property, etc., in lower total value dissolution matters.
