MEDIATION
The law makes mediation
mandatory prior to having a divorce hearing.
Mediation is a process whereby both sides with their attorneys go
to an attorney mediator to resolve all matters in dispute. If successful,
then the agreement between the parties is reduced to writing and
the court incorporates the agreement into the final divorce decree.
Any thing said in the mediation
is confidential and may not be used later in the event that the
parties are not able to settle.
This law firm will aggressively
negotiate a mediation agreement in the best interests of the firms
clients.
Examples of mediation
agreements
Mr. Hughes represented
a spouse who had been married for less than three years. The other
spouse had over 1.5 million dollars in separate property monies
in the bank; the principal amount was separate property but the
interest on the money was community.
Mr. Hughes aggressively
negotiated a sum of money for his client many times beyond what
his client would have ended up at a trial of the case. This mediation
agreement was then incorporated into the final decree of divorce.
In another settlement negotiation,
Mr. Hughes aggressively fought for his client whereby his client
ended up with several pieces of rental property that gave his client
future passive income and the sale of cattle resulted in a fair
market sale and a sizable amount of monies into his clients
pocket. Again, this agreement was also incorporated into the final
decree of divorce.
