Mediation Alternative with Steven Spence

Finding a Mediator

Mediators are professionals with specific training in mediation, who come from a variety of backgrounds including law, social work, education and psychology. Mediators in private practice charge an hourly rate which is usually shared by both spouses. See below for phone numbers to contact The Mediation Alternative.

Do I Still Need A Lawyer?

Even though some mediators are lawyers, the work a mediator does is quite different from the work your lawyer does for you. The mediator helps you and your spouse work out the issues and problems which come with separation and divorce. The mediator will know the laws affecting your separation/divorce, but your own lawyer is still needed to tell you what your rights and duties are, and to advise you on any written agreement you come to.
