Mediating Conflict,

Divorce And Family Law Mediation in Hawaii

Often, divorce mediation allows couples to avoid prolonged courtroom litigation. Instead, they work with a mediator to find solutions for issues like child custody or marital property division. This keeps decisions in the hands of the couple, and is often faster and cheaper than litigation.

We have amassed extensive experience in Hawaii family law that we bring to every case and we are available around the clock if you would like to meet with our lawyer.

What Are The Benefits Of Choosing Mediation?

Mediation can speed the divorce process because it removes the need to follow the court’s schedule. It can also be cost-effective by helping reduce some of your court expenses and legal fees. Additionally, mediation offers you more control and flexibility, allowing for creative and customized solutions and empowering you to make crucial decisions on your own.

In many cases, divorce mediation can reduce conflict by fostering better communication and minimizing animosity between both parties. This is especially important for parents raising children together. As an added benefit, mediation is confidential, whereas a litigated divorce is a matter of public record.

How Does Mediation Work In Hawaii?

When a couple decides to work with a mediator in Oahu, they will need to submit written statements for the mediator to scrutinize. They will then schedule sessions where all parties meet for discussions with the mediator acting in a neutral capacity to guide negotiations. In some cases, courts in Hawaii can order couples to go through mediation prior to a divorce. Any agreements reached may need to be submitted to court for approval.
