You and your
spouse jointly retain TMLG to mediate your family law matter. We are
listed as “Mediating Attorneys’ in the court records. We assist both
of you in understanding California law and in resolving any disputed
issues. We then draft your agreement into a Marital Settlement
Agreement. We can make administrative court appearances on your
behalf, but we cannot argue on behalf of one spouse over the other to
the court. TMLG handles all court required paperwork.
Requirements to Retain:
You and your spouse pay a retainer anticipated to cover 60 days of legal services. Retainers start at $3,000.
Advantages:
Best
economic choice for divorce. Allows the couple to work together with
an experienced mediator and to resolve their issues with the least
amount of conflict.
Disadvantages:
If you or your spouse
gives up on the mediation process, the mediation fails and you must
each hire your own attorney to litigate.
