What is Divorce Mediation

Divorce mediation is a structured process that helps couples navigate their separation in a fair and respectful way. Instead of battling it out in court, a neutral mediator facilitates open communication between both parties, helping them reach mutually agreeable decisions on issues like property division, child custody, and support. This process reduces conflict and fosters cooperation, allowing couples to part ways without unnecessary resentment. Think mediation sounds complicated? It doesn’t have to be!

What’s Next Parenting Plan, Child Custody & Support

Couples who communicate effectively are the most successful co-parents after divorce, and that’s where divorce mediation in St. Louis and Illinois truly shines. With a well-crafted parenting plan, you can ensure your child’s future is secure, whether it involves one child or multiple children.

That’s where I come in as a result-oriented divorce coach and mediator. I’m here to help you build a parenting plan that both of you can agree on, one that prioritizes your child’s well-being and supports a healthy co-parenting relationship.

Keys to Successful Divorce Mediation

A parenting plan is essential for putting your children’s needs first during a difficult time. Children are a precious gift from God, and they deserve our unwavering support, no matter the circumstances. Even though they may not fully understand why you’re separating, it’s our responsibility to keep them safe, secure, and loved.

For adult children, the impact of divorce can be immediate and profound, leading to feelings of denial or isolation. As a divorce coach, I’m here to support not only you but also your children, ensuring they have the encouragement and stability they need to thrive. Together, we’ll work to create a nurturing environment where everyone can heal and move forward to a happy, fulfilling life post-divorce serving Missouri, St. Louis, and Illinois.

Ready for Property & Assets Division in Missouri, St. Louis & Illinois

Dividing property and assets during a divorce doesn’t have to feel impossible, especially with me as your divorce coach and mediator! Together, we’ll tackle this process head-on during mediation here in St. Louis & Illinois.
We’ll break everything down into:
  • Marital Assets (jointly owned property and assets)
  • Individual Assets (property and assets owned individually)

In the pre-divorce phase, I’ll help you create a detailed property and asset spreadsheet, along with a budget and asset division plan that gives you total clarity. We’ll pinpoint exactly what falls under each category and assign clear percentage shares upfront so everyone knows where they stand. With my expertise, we’ll make what seems complex feel simple, and you’ll walk away with a fair and straightforward division—no more headaches, just results!

A similar approach is taken with income and expenses. During the pre-divorce stage, a detailed financial sheet is prepared as part of your divorce documentation and planning. Effective communication between both partners is key to making smart decisions about dividing income, managing essential expenses, and addressing any additional costs.

Calculating child support and alimony can feel overwhelming, but it’s a crucial part of the process. I’m here to help you determine fair and reasonable amounts that work for everyone involved, ensuring a balanced and just outcome for both parties.

With God's grace, your divorce will be granted!
