Beaverton & Portland Divorce Mediator Matthew House, J.D.
I'm Mediator Matthew House, and I will help you complete all aspects of an Oregon divorce from beginning to end. I bring compassion, flexibility, and extensive training in multiple fields that divorcing people need. Also, I'm a child of divorced parents, so I have been more than an observer -- I've been there.
I am the only Portland-area mediator who has: a law degree, intensive training as a Family Law Financial Analyst, 20 years as a mediator and child-centered divorce coach, seven years as a K-12 educator, and a notary commission.
Further, I am unique among mediators in the tri-county area, in that I provide no-cost meetings during and after mediation for clients' children (ages 12-22).
However, this unique package of services does not carry a premium price tag. My fees are the lowest of any law-degreed Portland-area mediator with similar years of experience.
Divorce Without Attorneys: Steps Toward Peace & Co-Parenting
Only you, the other spouse, and I will be present. By not including attorneys in the room, you will save considerable money, to be sure, and you will be focused on solutions and compromise.
I have learned from two decades of experience that two adults can be reasonable, even at a time of great difficulty. I will help you achieve this by modeling the patience, openmindedness and empathy that you should expect from a professional but also that you can achieve for yourselves.
Working through the issues with just your spouse and a law-trained, neutral facilitator, you will see that you can interact cooperatively with the other party. Knowing that you succeeded in communicating and solving problems even in the most contentious circumstances will give you confidence that your future interactions will also be low-conflict and solution-oriented.
That's important for the years to come. Even if you have no minor children to co-parent you will probably need to collaborate with your spouse to complete aspects of the divorce after it is finalized. Yu may also cross paths with each other from time to time for other reasons.
