Question 1

What is Divorce Mediation?

Accepted Answer

Mediation replaces courtroom battles. You work together—with me as a neutral facilitator—to negotiate fair agreements about finances, parenting, and more. The result: an agreement you create, not one imposed by a judge.

PivotPoint Resolutions will guide you through every step of the way.

Question 2

Is mediation cheaper than litigation?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. PivotPoint Resolutions believes in transparent pricing with a flat-fee model that means no hourly surprises.

Compared to typical litigation, mediation typically costs far less—both in dollars and emotional stress.

Question 7

What is mediation and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Mediation is a confidential process where a neutral third party, like PivotPoint Resolutions, helps people in conflict talk through their issues and reach a mutual agreement.

It’s typically much faster and less expensive than going to court, and is especially helpful when ongoing relationships matter—like between co-parents, neighbors, or coworkers.

Question 8

What are the benefits of mediation over going to court?

Accepted Answer

Mediation is typically faster, more affordable, and more private than going to court.

It allows YOU to stay in control of the outcome instead of leaving decisions up to a judge.

PivotPoint Resolutions provides mediation that promotes respectful communication, which can reduce stress and protect important relationships—especially in situations like co-parenting, workplace issues, or neighbor disputes.
