Official and 'Ohana:
Matthew House's Thoughtful and Thorough Mediation Process
Maybe you have seen the movie "Lilo and Stitch." If so, you know 'ohana -- the Hawaiian culture's broad concept of family, including relatives, friends, and others who support you. The frequent refrain in "Lilo and Stitch" is: "Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten."
Matthew House has adopted that theme in his mediation practice. Yes, Matthew has a law degree, 20 years of experience as a mediator and teen advocate, training as a divorce finance expert, and background as a K-12 teacher, but he equally values his connections to his client families as people. He provides an outcome that is both thorough and thoughtful. It addresses the legal, financial, personal, and familial aspects of a divorce -- both official and 'ohana. Matthew knows from experience that a legal document can have all of the necessary features and still preserve its core purpose: to make life better and clearer for two divorcing adults and, if applicable, their children.
People hire Matthew during what is, for most, the most challenging experience of their lives. He knows that people need a professional who is both competent and compassionate. Matthew encourages you to be cordial to each other in mediation, to be collaborative co-parents if you have minor children, and to see him as a part of your team, -- your 'ohana.
