Litigation may not be the best method to resolve disputes between parties. The process can be expensive, cause further damage to once-valued relationships, and can ultimately fail to resolve the issue litigated with a solution that is workable for the parties.
Mediation is the process of using a neutral third party to help elicit each parties’ goals and needs, and to help brainstorm solutions that are reasonable and work for everyone, without going to court.
Evaluative mediation with a family law attorney will also provide both parties with feedback and direction on what solutions the court would expect to see and what types of agreements are reasonable under Montana law.

When you both agree on most everything but the paperwork and the process are both daunting: let us handle it. After one office visit and a bit of homework you will be on your way to completing your amicable divorce or parenting plan in a few short weeks.
After you explain your wishes to us, we handle all the paperwork and provide you with a package to simply sign and drop off with the clerk without having to set foot in the court room.

Mediation is appropriate for families who know they do not want to get swamped by the divorce process, do not want to go to court, but don’t agree on everything. With the help of a neutral attorney mediator over the course of a few short meetings, couples can gracefully work through the issues at hand to come to an agreement that works best for everyone.
By agreeing to hire one attorney jointly as your mediator, you will save on the costs of hiring separate attorneys, and can easily avoid the conflict and heartache that accompany the adversarial process. Once an agreement is reached, we will provide you with a fully drafted divorce package to sign and drop off with the clerk for the Court’s signature.
