MEDIATION: CHANGING THE FACE OF DIVORCE

Arizona Family Law Firm Says Divorce Mediation Is Key To Saving Post-Divorce Relationships and Bank Accounts

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Dec. 13, 2006) – The cliché that all marriages facing divorce are bound to turn into ugly, greedy battles over assets and finances is changing, according to Nirenstein Ruotolo Group (NRG Family Law) in Scottsdale, Ariz.

As more and more couples seek to end a marriage in a financially-sound and confidential manner, they are turning to divorce mediation as an alternative to litigation, to bypass what can become a lengthy, privacy-invading and financially-draining process.

Creating a safe, confidential environment where each party can fully express themselves, mediation provides a level of flexibility not found in litigation, allowing couples to make settlement agreements outside of the courtroom that are tailored to individual family needs. Bringing together both parties, with legal counsel and a mediator, divorce mediation lets a mediator work with the couple to prepare the final divorce resolution, whether it be a successful settlement agreement or proposed court order.

“Mediation is growing in popularity as people recognize the many benefits it can bring to a situation that can get very complex, very expensive and very emotional,” said Alexander Nirenstein, co-founder and managing member of NRG Family Law, a boutique family law firm that caters to high-net-worth individuals. “We always encourage mediation as an alternative to litigation as it can result in a significant cost savings and often a more successful settlement for both parties.”

Designed to create a smooth transition during a divorce, to assist clients in overcoming emotional and legal obstacles and to improve family dynamics through open communication, mediation also bypasses the hefty expenses often associated with litigation, allowing both individuals to maintain the same standard of living after a divorce. Child custody, spousal support and other provisions are also established at this time to assist couples in redefining their relationship after the marriage has ended.

Typically, Nirenstein says a successful resolution can be reached in just three mediation sessions.

NRG is headquartered in Scottsdale, Ariz., with an office on the Chandler/Tempe border, and hosts the state’s only free law blog at www.azfamilylawblog.com.
