Mediation
Common ground with solutions
Mediation can be your solution for divorce disputes. Rather than spending money, time, and stress in the courtroom and with attorneys, mediation offers a holistic solution to resolving and coming to an agreement. A trained family law mediator, such as our attorneys Jeanie Colella and Shon Cook, guides the process by discussing options, solutions, and outcomes. Mediation can occur at any stage of the divorce process, even before a divorce is filed. The sooner the parties start addressing the issues and working through the divorce, the better.
At Tabono Law, we understand that divorce and family matters can create tension and stress. Our goal is to help you reach realistic agreements and find solutions as efficiently as possible. Partner with us and find support from trained professionals who can guide you through the divorce process.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps two or more parties involved in a dispute to communicate, understand each other’s perspectives, and find a mutually acceptable solution. The mediator does not make decisions for the parties or impose any outcomes, but facilitates the conversation to help them reach a resolution on their own.
Key features of mediation:
Participation in mediation is typically voluntary, meaning that the parties involved choose to enter the process and can withdraw at any time.
Mediation is generally confidential, and the information discussed during the sessions cannot be used in court if the mediation doesn’t lead to a resolution.
The mediator remains neutral and does not take sides. Their role is to guide the conversation and ensure that both parties have an opportunity to express their views.
Mediation helps parties make informed decisions by clarifying their interests and needs, often leading to creative solutions that would be difficult to achieve through litigation.

Agreement
If the parties reach a resolution, the mediator helps them formalize the agreement, which may be written down and signed.
