MEDIATION
Helping Families Find Peaceful Paths Forward
Divorce, parenting decisions, and family transitions don't have to be battles.
At Abi Law, we understand that family transitions —especially divorce and parenting decisions —can be incredibly emotional and difficult. You may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply trying to protect what matters most: your children and your future.
As both a family lawyer and a trained mediator, I offer a calm, supportive space where you can work through these challenges with clarity and compassion.
My goal is simple...
Do no harm and to help you make thoughtful decisions, reduce conflict, and move forward with confidence, not confrontation.

Divorce & Custody Mediation:
Your Questions Answered
What is divorce mediation, and how is it different from going to court?
Divorce mediation is a voluntary process where you and your partner work with a neutral mediator to make decisions together outside of the court. It's often more peaceful, private, and cost-effective than litigation. Instead of a judge deciding for you, you stay in control of the outcome.
Can we still mediate if we don’t agree on everything?
Absolutely. Mediation is designed to help you work through disagreements. You don't need to be on the same page to start, just willing to try. Many couples begin with tension and leave with workable solutions.
Is mediation legally binding?
Yes. Once you reach an agreement, it can be written into a formal document and submitted to the court for approval, making it legally enforceable.
How does mediation work when children are involved?
We focus on creating a parenting plan that supports your children's emotional and physical well-being. Mediation encourages respectful co-parenting and helps you make decisions about custody, schedules, and communication all with your childs best interest at heart.
What if I feel unsafe or unheard during mediation?
Your safety and comfort are a priority. Mediation is not appropriate in cases involving abuse or intimidation. If needed, we can explore other legal options or adjust the mediation format to ensure you feel supported and secure.
How long does mediation take?
It varies depending on your situation. Some families resolve issues in a few sessions, while others take more time. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful for everyone involved.
Do I need a lawyer during mediation?
While mediation is a collaborative process, it’s often helpful to have legal advice before or after sessions. As a family lawyer and mediator, I can explain your rights and help you understand your options, but I won’t offer legal advise to either of you.
