Georgia Divorce Mediation

As a divorce mediator in Atlanta, attorney Barbara E. Keon helps divorcing spouses reach agreement on a wide range of issues. Divorce mediation provides an opportunity for couples to work out their problems without the intervention of judges or the stress and expense of trials. Sometimes, prior to hearing a contested divorce, the Judge may order both parties to attend mediation. Other times, spouses, in consultation with their attorneys, may decide that mediation is preferable to bringing the issues to court.

If you would like to reach an amicable resolution to issues in your divorce, contact Atlanta divorce mediator Barbara E. Keon for help.

The Advantages of Mediation:

  • There are many advantages to pursuing divorce mediation in Georgia:
  • In most cases, each party enters mediation voluntarily and reaches agreement voluntarily.
  • Children are spared from a protracted and potentially bitter trial.
  • Mediation could lay the foundation for future cooperation on issues involving children.
  • Unlike trials, mediation is confidential and takes place only in the presence of lawyers, the mediator, and your spouse.
  • Mediation avoids the potential stress, time, and expense of trials.
  • Mediation assures your direct input in the outcome of your case.
  • Mediation concludes your case sooner.

Mediation does not impose decisions. Instead, it facilitates respectful discussion between parties and helps to ensure that the relevant, difficult issues are those that are being addressed.

Legally Binding Agreements

Perhaps, the greatest advantage to mediation is that the agreement reached is legally binding. The same issues that would have been addressed by the Court can be resolved outside of trial:

  • Child custody
  • Child support and visitation
  • Property division
  • Debt division
  • Alimony
