Research indicates that couples who cooperatively amend their own Agreements are generally more committed to and satisfied with the outcomes than those with court-ordered modifications.
As your Mediator, I impartially facilitate discussions aimed at your mutual well-being and future stability. Pre-Suit Modification is a consensual process. It will commence only if both parties agree, offering you control over alterations to your Final Judgment.
Should one party file a Petition for Modification, court protocol will direct you towards Mediation to foster mutual resolution. Should that fail, judicial decisions will be imposed.
Opting for Mediation initially can often bypass the time, stress, and cost involved in litigation.
You’ll need to weigh immediate resolution against the unknowns of extended legal proceedings. At Mediation & Counseling Consultants, we believe that only you can decide what’s best for you, your children, and your future. Over two decades, we’ve guided countless couples through pivotal decisions in emotionally trying times.
We stand by you until your amended Final Judgment is court-approved.
