    There are many reasons to choose a mediation process over litigation. Perhaps the greatest reason is one that is often overlooked. Faster closure and stress reduction are the top reasons ahead of the benefits of lower costs and having direct input into the decisions about your children and property that no judge can give you.

  • Divorce Solutions Podcast-Mediation V. Litigation a cost comparison
    Sep 19 2024

    Send us a text

    Separation costs money. That's a fact. How much money depends on how you approach the issues that need addressing such as parenting schedules, division and equalization of assets, child and spousal support and who will get Great Aunt Edna's antique vase.
    Seriously, there are a lot of financial reasons to avoid litigation if possible. Lawyers, by the way are not all hungry to go to court. The vast majority would rather not, and many are mediators themselves. What's the cost difference between Mediation and Litigation? Find out in this episode of Divorce Solutions with Mediator and Coach Jamie West and Lawyer/Mediator Tracy Miller.

  • Divorce Solutions Podcast #59. Social Media, proceed at your own risk.

    Social media is a figurative minefield where what you post could blow up and harm you. As we hear from Lawyer/Mediator Tracy Miller and Mediator/Coach Jamie West, it makes no sense for you to do anything other than mothball your social media activities until well after your family law matter is done and dusted. Who knows, the break from social media could be good for your head too.

  • Divorce Solutions Podcast-Parental Alienation the truth
    May 26 2024

    Send us a text

    Family Law experts, social workers and researchers can't seem to agree on whether or not the label Parental Alienation is appropriate in high-conflict divorces and battles between warring parents over parental decision-making and parenting time. It's a lightning rod term for sure and where you fall on the debate is largely determined by your own experiences. As we hear in this episode, Family Mediator Jamie West has now openly shared that he was in fact a targeted parent of not one but two parental alienators. His ex-wife and her partner. Jamie thinks the term Parental Alienation is accurate and appropriate. His co-host Lawyer, Tracy Miller has seen and heard it all in her decades as a family lawyer and she's not sure that labels help. You can make up your own mind in this must hear episode of Divorce Solutions.
