Mediation may Facilitate A Smoother Divorce Process

Couples in Utah who are considering a divorce and would like to work together to avoid a courtroom battle may be interested to know that mediation is available to help them achieve this goal. Mediation is a process where a neutral third party meets and discusses with each individual to determine what their expectations and goals are for dividing marital property, and if children are involved, custody and visitation can also be addressed.

Mediation can be a valuable tool for couples to engage in a non-threatening, less stressful environment to openly communicate on issues in dispute. Because each couple will have circumstances unique to their situation, mediators can guide the couple to a goal based on their specific needs and desires. Couples may only be able to resolve some of their issues, but this means less time that may need to be spent in the courtroom.

Both parties involved in the divorce should be able to respect each other’s requests and willing to work together in a cooperative and courteous manner. This is even more important for couples with children, as working as a team can be especially beneficial when determining matters of custody and visitation.

Couples who are considering ending their marriage might be interested in going through with mediation. Individuals could contact an attorney to review their options and find out if mediation may help in their situation. An attorney can address questions and concerns that a person has about mediation and the divorce process and refer an individual to a mediator.

When I started my case with Brown Family Law, they had 650 positive reviews. Now, about a year later, they have 820. Not sure how much else you need to convince you, but do yourself a favor and stop looking. You're in the right place.We worked with Nathaniel for nearly a year on our case, and trusting someone with something so vulnerable and close to you as a custody case is difficult, but he made it easy. His knowledge of law and experience with the court system allowed us to make educated decisions quicker. He helped me feel confident in very unfamiliar territory, and having someone like Nate on my team allowed me to make the best decisions possible for our family. He thought of many things I didn't, and gave us the roadmap to success for navigating a complicated and stressful situation. I found myself constantly bragging about our lawyer to family and expressing how impressed I was in his skill and his fearless nature of getting sh** done. Nate got that dawg in him, yanno what I mean?I like the way Brown Family Law works with their clients; it's different than other law firms, and I can see the benefits of those differences. It's always easy to contact someone at the office, and I get a response very quickly. They are extremely communicative, fast, and thorough. They run a tight ship, and it's obvious the quality differences from other law firms.This is a big and heavy decision, but Brown Family Law will take a lot of that weight off your shoulders. Ask for Nate--you won't be led astray.

Response from the owner: Christie, thank you. So glad Nathaniel was able to help you and that we were able to communicate with you so quickly.

I can't say enough about Russell Yauney at Brown Family Law! He has helped me on multiple cases over the years and has always exceeded my expectations. Russell is one of the good guys who isn't afraid to tell you how it is and isn't afraid to stand up and fight for what is right. I'm glad that I have Russell and his team in my corner!

Response from the owner: Karl, glad Russell served you well.

Ryan Farrell

Nathaniel was my attorney and I couldn't ask for someone more attentive and level-headed than he is. They made my divorce process so much easier and were very patient with me as I navigated the entire process. Thank you Brown Family Law for all of your help!

Response from the owner: Samantha, thank you and so glad Nathaniel did such a good job for you.
