Popularized by several celebrity divorces over the last decade, mediation has grown from an unknown, niche court alternative into today's standard, preferred approach to divorce.
It's a guided process that helps people settle the terms of their divorce and reach fair, amicable, agreements—without the stress and cost of going to court. Mediation puts you in control, ensuring that your family and your children's needs are prioritized as you work together to shape your future.
No case is too big or too small: We've handled complex, high-value, high-conflict divorce cases with multiple businesses valued at millions of dollars...just as we've helped simple, amicable couples without children or a home file quickly and easily.
We offer all-inclusive, flat fee packages which feature
-virtual or in-person sessions,
-paperwork services, and
-for those in Minnesota, full filing assistance.
"When you work with me, you can expect a balance of shrewd legal acumen with emotional sensitivity. I help disparate communication styles and contrasting personalities to understand and resonate with each other. My process ensures that all voices are heard and understood."
—Alex Glassmann
Here's a common example:
Consider the issue of budgeting. When managing finances as divorced co-parents, reaching consensus on the children's shared costs is essential.
A therapist or friend may identify the need for budget reconciliation, but the practical aspects of number-crunching can't be addressed in therapy itself. And, as we all know, adversarial attorneys often draw out the process.
That's why so many therapists and friends refer clients to us: "Alex provides the space and the guidance to get clients through the numbers, helping both people reach agreement and feel comfortable."
Joint Sessions
(two hours)
For couples, co-parenting, and elder care mediation, the number of joint sessions are scheduled as needed. Many find agreement within a handful sessions or less. Remarkably challenging, high-value topics rarely extend beyond six sessions.
Most clients join remotely on separate, respective devices. In-person options are available in Minnesota.
For some, a joint format is impractical or uncomfortable; therefore, we offer One-on-One (1:1) coaching as well:
1:1 Sessions
(ninety, sixty, or thirty minutes)
1:1 sessions can complement joint sessions by providing useful 1:1 guidance and accountability between joint meetings.
For some high-conflict divorces, alternating 1:1 sessions can be preferred to appearing together on a joint call.
And, for individuals, 1:1 coaching is an effective standalone option when one person isn't able or willing to participate.
