What do I need to Divorce?

Most people need a family lawyer, written separation agreement confirming your agreement on property (and debt) division, child custody, parenting times, child support and spousal support (called alimony in America).

What is divorce mediation and Divorcing Well?

Divorcing Well™ is Teryl Scott Lawyers Inc.’s uniquely efficient contested divorce mediation process. The five-week timeline makes it the most cost-effective, and legally sophisticated may of resolving legal conflicts as you separate and divorce.

What is the most affordable way to divorce?

An affordable divorce occurs when the parties agree on all the terms of the divorce. These terms are in the separation agreement. Divorcing Well™ mediators help the parties come to an agreement on the terms of the separation agreement / divorce in a short five-week process. This short process helps to keep divorce costs very low. After the parties have signed the separation agreement, the divorce is just a matter of paperwork being filed with the court. There is no requirement to attend court and thus avoiding expensive legal fees associated with a contested divorce.

Is a mediated divorce appropriate if there is a lot of conflict between the parties?

Yes, Divorcing Well™ mediation does not bring the parties together in the same room. In fact, the greater the conflict between the parties, the more helpful it is to have a mediator. Mediators are trained to de-escalate people’s emotions and regulate communication to allow an efficient resolution. Divorcing Well™ mediations do not bring the parties together throughout the five-week process except sometimes in week five, the final week, to sign the separation agreement.

Our Client Reviews

					  I recently had my will updated along with my power of attorney and a medical directive.
The process was very simple as I set up a phone consultation with my lawyer,... read more Dan Wilbond, whereby we discussed the details of each document. From there, I met with Dan a week later at his office, reviewed the finished documents, made a few changes and signed off within an hour.
I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them in the future.
