Divorce Mediation: Your First Resort
A marital conflict does not have to end in litigation. Aside from being expensive, litigation can be time-consuming and stressful. Spouses have to retain separate attorneys, live according to the court's schedule and be present at hearings, often at great inconvenience. Attorney Awoniyi believes that divorce issues should be resolved in court only as a last resort.
California couples look to divorce mediation as an effective alternative to litigation. Divorce mediation is a voluntary, confidential and cooperative problem-solving method through which the parties control the outcome of their case. Mediation is a non-adversarial process in which the parties meet with a neutral facilitator to identify issues, share information, weigh their options and find solutions that address both parties' concerns.
Attorney Awoniyi is a skilled mediator. She can help you work out the terms of your divorce agreement and she can provide you with smart legal advice to help you make informed decisions.
Collaborative Law: Representation, Information, Control
Attorney Awoniyi also represents clients engaged in collaborative process. As a collaborative law attorney, her role is to help you identify your unresolved divorce issues, provide effective and practical solutions, and let you move forward. Collaborative lawyers agree to share information and cooperate in resolving the parties' issues. If the parties are unable to resolve their issues and must go to court, the collaborative attorneys agree to withdraw from representation.
A collaborative attorney helps parties negotiate agreements voluntarily and amicably, and work toward resolving their dispute without court interference. To learn more about collaborative law and how we can help you, contact the Law Office of Bunmi Awoniyi, at 916-925-9180.
Moving Forward with Mediation and Collaborative Law
Whether you're seeking divorce through mediation or collaborative law, attorney Awoniyi has the necessary experience and skill to help you. As a neutral mediator or collaborative lawyer, attorney Awoniyi instead is committed to helping you settle your disputes in the most amicable manner.
In mediation, the parties hire one mediator attorney to act as a facilitator. On the other hand, collaborative negotiation requires the parties to each hire an attorney committed to assisting the parties resolve their differences cooperatively. These procedures do not require court intervention during the settlement discussions and therefore allow the parties to address their issues and tailor a personal resolution. Both mediation and collaboration remain confidential procedures.
Mediation and collaborative law can not only save parties time and money but may also help preserve family relationships. Children of divorcing parents may be encouraged to see their parents cooperating in these prospective practices.
