Divorce & Uncoupling Mediation
Divorce mediation at BMG is an out-of-court alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceeding guided by the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution (GODR). Our therapeutic approach is designed to help parties preserve a civil relationship through this process if they so desire.
If you and your spouse have decided to resolve your divorce, we can facilitate low-conflict negotiations that create a legally-binding agreement to end your relationship as spouses from the comfort and privacy of home.
In this process, you have the freedom to choose to hire an attorney or design an agreement between yourselves. Please feel free to consult an attorney with all legal concerns prior to scheduling a mediation as mediators cannot give legal advice. (We can provide a list of reputable Georgia attorneys.)
Divorce Mediation
This process empowers you to make the best decisions on issues that matter most to you. You and your spouse design a legally binding agreement that is specific to your needs going forward.
We do not mediation cases with domestic or interpersonal violence.
Parenting Plan
Save time and stress going forward by creating a parenting plan that includes an agreement for the following responsibilities: medical care, child care fees, holidays, vacations, transportation arrangements, and more.
Alimony/Spousal Support
In the state of Georgia, the amount and duration of alimony is determined by multiple factors (e.g., length of marriage, income, etc.). The parties or a judge (if the parties cannot agree) can decide on the amount and duration of payments.
Uncoupling
Like divorce mediation, uncoupling facilitates conversations that help both parties resolve how to divide any shared purchases, living arrangements (e.g., leases), and any other concerns.
Child Support - most recent state training
In the state of Georgia, child support is mandatory. The income of both parents are calculated using the Georgia Online Child Support Calculator along with other factors to determine monthly child support.
Pet Mediation
Our pets are a part of our family and uncoupling can allow both parties to create an agreement to continue providing for and spending time with your fur babies.
