The divorce mediation process is simple, straightforward, and amicable. You will have a one-hour consultation with Matthew at his Beaverton divorce mediation office. The divorce mediation consultation an opportunity, at a discounted fee, to learn about how a mediated divorce will meet your needs and and ask general questions about divorce in Oregon. Following the consultation, you will typically have two to three full divorce mediation sessions of two hours each -- usually two sessions for those without minor children or three sessions for those with minor children.
During the sessions, Matthew will walk you through all of the decisions you will make, and he will provide you with examples and guidance. Ultimately, the decisions are yours, and Matthew will not coerce you, take sides, or make the decisions for you. His role is to give you options you may not have considered and to provide you with the benefits of his law degree and 12 years of experience serving hundreds of divorcing couples in Metro Portland.
Once all of the decisions are made, Matthew will write the Mediation Report that contains all of those decisions. You will read the Mediation Report, and Matthew will revise it at no cost. After you have approved it, it will go to Matthew's contracted paralegal to be added to the divorce forms required by the county. Then, you'll take (or mail) the forms to the courthouse in the county in which at least one of you resides.
Meanwhile, you may want to consider signing up for the required Parenting Education Class that is mandated by the State of Oregon for all divorcing couples who have minor children 16 or younger. Although Matthew can assist you in seeking a waiver of the requirement, you are not guaranteed to get the waiver, so you may end up having to take the course anyway -- one class in Multnomah County and Clackamas County, and four classes for those who file in Washington County.
Within two months, but usually just a few weeks, your divorce will be finalized by the court. Except in the rarest circumstances, neither you nor your spouse will have to appear before a judge. By choosing divorce mediation with Matthew, you could be finished with your divorce in the time it would take in a lawyer-facilitated divorce for one spouse to file a petition and the other to respond. Mediation gives you the same result -- a divorce -- but with money left in your bank, energy left in your brain, and civility left in your relationship with your former spouse. Matthew looks forward to your call or email to begin the divorce mediation process.
