Divorce Mediation Lawyers for Maryland Cases

In Maryland, mediation is an out-of-court process that uses a neutral third-party mediator – a sort of “legal referee” – to help two parties agree on major decisions. A mediation can happen in a single session or continue over several sessions. 

For divorces, the parties involved would be you and your former spouse. The mediator can be a lawyer – such as our Firm – or another professional mediator. They can help identify priorities and possible compromises.  

Mediation can work out solutions for many divorce arrangements, including:  

• Child Custody, Support, and Visitation 
• Alimony or Spousal Support 
• Division of Property 
• Tax Issues 

Mediations preserve relationships with your former spouse – and with any children who may be involved. 

After all, kids notice tension and conflict between their parents. Resolving disagreements through mediation protects that parent-child bond by taking potential arguments into a safe, confidential space. 

Mediation also streamlines divorce proceedings by avoiding a lengthy (and expensive) court trial. That way, you and your loved ones can move past this part of your life and into the next! 

Not every divorce needs a long, bitter fight in court. Sometimes, a divorcing couple just needs a neutral party in the room to hash out final decisions. 

While divorce mediation isn’t for everyone – especially spouses leaving abusive relationships – we recommend clients consider mediation if they:  

• Want a peaceful and “fair” resolution;
• Want to maintain relationships after the divorce for family harmony;
• Can’t come to an agreement on their own;
• Would prefer to avoid a long and expensive court trial; or 
• Don’t want a judge to decide “for” them.
