What is Mediation
Compared to other options during a Denver divorce, mediation is typically faster and more convenient. In many cases, it can help both parties feel like they’ve done what is best for everyone involved. During a divorce mediation, each party discusses terms of their divorce with the assistance of a neutral third party mediator. A mediator is usually an attorney or retired judge who doesn’t take anyone’s side, but rather, works to find common ground and resolve any issues that may arise. Mediation allows for the divorce process to occur at a neutral location without having to appear in court.
While the mediator may not have any authority to make legal decisions concerning the divorce, they play a pivotal role in facilitating, discussing, and offering up ways that they can come toan agreement.

How Much Does Mediation Cost in Colorado?
The cost of mediation in Colorado depends on a few different factors. The primary factors include the number and complexity of the issues to be resolved in the divorce and whether the parties opt for a mediator from a court’s list or a private mediator.
Our Denver divorce attorneys work hard to make your mediation as quick, efficient, and as successful as possible—saving you both time and money.
Why Choose Mediation?
In divorce and child custody cases, many people get caught up in trying to “win” the case. This can lead to fighting over petty issues simply so they don’t have to yield. While these feelings are very understandable, it’s important to view your divorce as a fresh start and to set past issues aside as you work toward a resolution. In child custody cases, it’s crucial to remember that the interests of your child should always come first.
We encourage our clients to pursue mediation for many reasons during the divorce process, including:
- It is typically far less expensive
- It can help you reach a more satisfactory outcome
- It helps you focus on the needs of your child
- It helps you retain control over your situation
- It is completely confidential
Mediation can help you protect the interests of your family.
