Ideal for Low-Conflict Divorce
Our Conscious Uncoupling package combines coaching, consulting and mediation to create a holistic and high-touch approach to divorce, designed for couples who wish to maximize cooperation and minimize attorney involvement. The process follows the traditional five stages of mediation to help each of you clearly see the big picture, understand your top priorities, and work towards the most supportive outcome for your family and your future.
Our package includes a combination of individual and joint sessions with our team where we focus on parenting, finances and building your best future. Also included are paralegal services to prepare and draft the necessary court forms for final attorney review and filing. Packages start at $4,500.
*Does not include attorney review (typically 1-2 hours) or court filing fees.
How DSNW Can Help:
Our team at DSNW can support you through our coaching and mediation services, which are designed to help you and your spouse remain amicable, and reach a mutually-desired outcome for your divorce. Even in amicable cases, issues of contention nearly always arise, at some point during the dissolution process. Working with our team helps you understand your rights and sort through the myriad of details, enabling you to arrive at a settlement division that is acceptable to all. This relieves stress on the family and puts you in control of this emotional, stressful process.
We help you identify your goals, understand, and ask for what you want and need. We educate you on the process, helping you negotiate from a place of power and compromise. As part of the mediation process, we will draft a detailed parenting plan and a thorough financial settlement agreement. We advocate for peaceful resolution and solutions that will be functional for you and your family, now and into the future.
Our approach is unique and differs from traditional mediation. We provide personal, in-depth coaching, along with mediation services, to help you understand your goals, and create an action plan for moving forward. Ours is a more customized + holistic approach, and increases the likelihood of a satisfying outcome for both parties and for your children, long-term.
DSNW provides you with:
Once you and your spouse have agreed upon the final terms, our package includes transitioning you to our paralegal for final preparation and drafting of the legal documents. The last step in the process is an attorney review and filing of the documents. Attorney and court filing fees are billed separately.
