What Mediation Covers
Divorce mediation focuses on reaching clear, workable agreements without litigation. At Madison Divorce Mediation, we guide couples through the full scope of divorce related decisions, from identifying what needs to be resolved to finalizing legally sound agreements.
Below are the areas we can help you navigate.
Divorce/Legal
Separation
No one plans for divorce. However you arrived here, it often comes with uncertainty.We provide a calm, structured process to help you understand your options and decide next steps with clarity.
In some cases, legal separation may be an appropriate alternative. If so, we will walk through that option with you.
Property Division
Dividing property means deciding how assets and debts will be handled. This can include everything from the home and retirement accounts to everyday belongings and shared obligations.
We guide you through the relevant considerations and help you explore practical options so decisions align with your priorities and long term goals.
Child Support
Child support is addressed alongside parenting arrangements and family finances. We help you understand how support is typically calculated and how different parenting and income scenarios affect the outcome.
State guidelines provide a starting point, but the final agreement is shaped around your family’s needs and priorities.
Spousal Support
Spousal support, sometimes called maintenance, is addressed based on the specifics of your marriage and each person’s ability to earn income.
We help you understand the factors involved and explore reasonable options so decisions are informed, balanced, and aligned with your priorities.
Domestic Partnerships
For couples who are not married but share children and or property, mediation provides a structured way to separate and plan for the future.
We help address parenting, financial, and property related decisions and create clear agreements that support co parenting and independent lives.
Post Settlement Mediation
Even after a divorce is finalized, issues can arise around parenting, finances, or ongoing decision making.
We help former partners resolve post settlement conflicts through a focused, constructive mediation process that leads to workable agreements.
