Mediation Services still A Good Idea for an Uncontested Divorce

Many Utah couples may be able to come to reasonably fair terms of their divorce, without the need of formal litigation. An uncontested divorce can certainly help move the process along much more quickly. However, to ensure a settlement is fair and all legal aspects are accounted for, the use of mediation services may prove valuable. As divorce affects so many areas, especially if children are involved, it is important to make sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed, so to speak.

The use of mediation services can provide a neutral place for divorcing couples to meet and discuss or negotiate just about anything pertaining to their divorce. Issues such as setting child custody or visitation schedules are often an area of contention, even in the most amicable of situations. A little work may be necessary to find a solution both parties feels is in the best interest of their children and themselves.

Any specific terms regarding child support, spousal support and property division can also be addressed in mediation. These services can be utilized with or without the use of legal counsel, though many would suggest having a legal team is preferable. In the very least, an attorney should review any mediated agreements to ensure all legal rights are honored. Uncontested or not, no one wants to be taken advantage of.

Even an uncontested divorce has its complexities that will require discussion and negotiation. Having a safe place that creates a level playing field for both parties may be just what is needed to help generate a fair and balanced agreement. Mediation services are certainly a valuable aspect of family law and could prove beneficial for Utah couples seeking a divorce.

Absolutely stand out humans leading me through one of the most stressful and disorienting events of my life. I got what I needed and with my soul intact. Great insights, compassion and I feel having the support and capabilities of Nick to be instrumental to my coming out the other side with optimism! Cheers, Brown Family Law!

Bill Tovar

I cannot express how grateful I am for the way Nathaniel and the team at Brown Family Law handled my divorce case. Their level of professionalism and honesty is truly exceptional—qualities that used to be standard but, unfortunately, feel increasingly rare today. From start to finish, they were supportive, transparent, and genuinely committed to helping me navigate an incredibly difficult time. I felt heard, respected, and well-represented every step of the way. I highly recommend Brown Family Law to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled legal team.

Sincerely

William Tovar,

I cannot recommend Attorney Fredian's work enough, she has been compassionate every step of the way, responsive, shown true care for her clients and an example of what a lawyer should be. An advocate who cares.

I can’t recommend Nick Schwartz enough. From day one, Nick approached my case and legal concerns with compassion, honesty, and provided incredible insight. He was always responsive, took the time to explain every step, and made sure I felt supported. Nick is incredibly sharp and highly motivated to serve his clients. Thank you Nick for everything you did!
