Mediation | Nexus Family Law

Colorado Divorce Mediation Lawyers

Mediation can be a useful tool in resolving a wide range of family law issues, including divorce, child custody, and property division.

Mediation is a popular method for resolving family law disputes in a more collaborative and cost-effective manner. Mediation involves the use of a neutral third-party mediator who assists the parties in reaching a mutually agreeable resolution to their dispute.

There are many benefits to using mediation in family law cases, including:

Cost-effective: Mediation is generally less expensive than going to court, as it does not involve the extensive preparation and litigation expenses that come with traditional court proceedings.
Faster resolution: Mediation can be much faster than going to court. The parties can typically schedule mediation sessions at their convenience, and the process can be completed in a matter of weeks, rather than months or even years.
Confidentiality: Mediation is confidential, which means that anything said during the process cannot be used against either party in court.
Control over the outcome: In mediation, the parties have more control over the outcome of their dispute than they would in court. The mediator does not make decisions for the parties, but rather assists them in reaching a mutually agreeable resolution.
Preservation of relationships: Mediation can help preserve relationships between family members by promoting cooperation and communication.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I was very happy with the amount of work Yasaman and her team did for me, she even had to do the work of my ex’s lawyer (a high profile veteran lawyer with 25 plus years experience). I was very impressed! She did an excellent job and upheld high standards of honesty, integrity and respect within the courtroom and within every aspect of my case. She was ready and fully prepared throughout the 11 month ordeal. I will highly recommend her to anyone in the future who needs help in family law.

Michele

Due to unfortunate events that led me to seek legal help, I have been so grateful to have found Elizabeth. I have been her client for the last 3 years. From the moment we had our first phone call, I knew I was dealing with a professional that could successfully help me navigative a very difficult parenting time situation. That’s exactly what she has done. She is honest, direct, responsive, and effectively communicates every time without fail. She always has my daughters best interest in mind and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with something so sensitive and important. It really does help me feel at ease having her in my corner! If you are looking for someone to help you navigate a co-parenting related issue, I highly recommend using Elizabeth at Nexus Family Law.

Trish

I’ve been working with this firm for almost 2 years. I am engaged in a high conflict custody battle with a ex-partner who has narcissistic personality disorder. My attorney understands what makes my case unique. My ex has no empathy, nor is he capable of compromising, or even reaching an agreement. It has been an endless path of frustration with my daughter as the main victim.

Elizabeth is my attorney. She has a high level of intelligence, empathy and experience dealing with high conflict cases. I almost gave up at one point, but Liz was one of the people who never stopped believing in me. Not only does my attorney have a great heart, she is a shark in the court room, and will take that narcissist down!

Katie

I have had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth and Yasaman for a few years now. Elizabeth guided me through and helped me win a tumultuous custody battle for my son. She was a refreshing and encouraging change in counsel from my previous representation that showed neither lack nor care for my case. She was kind, patient, and worked tirelessly on my case. Yasaman was also a joy to work with and mirrored the same care and diligence when she needed to step in on my case. Last, but certainly not least, Casidy is an amazing paralegal and never skipped a beat. This is a dynamic group of women and I highly recommend their firm!

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I required to participate in mediation for my divorce case?

The Courts in Colorado require all parties to participate in mediation for pre-decree cases including pre-decree divorce cases. However, in some special circumstances either party may ask the court to waive the mediation requirement. For instance, if one party is refusing to cooperate to schedule mediation or if one party is refusing to pay for mediation session and because of that mediation has been cancelled. In that event, the court has the authority to deny or grant the request to waive mediation requirement.
