Dr. Halem focused on each of us individually, while providing multiple suggestions to encourage dialog for solutions that would benefit us both. With her clear, direct sensibility Dr. Halem moderated us through a difficult time within a comfortable environment. We are grateful.

Despite our disagreements during our marriage, that ultimately lead us to divorce, we would always agree that our typical child and special needs children will always be our number one priority. Our journey in preparing for our divorce, while also meeting our children's unique needs, ultimately lead us to Dr. Lynne Halem. Lynne provided extensive knowledge, resource information, support, guidance, patience and exceptional advocacy skills throughout this very challenging time in our lives. Working together as a team, we were able to agree on a very structured and supportive divorce agreement. It provided guidelines for co-parenting, along with meeting all the current and unique life-time needs for our children. Thank you for all your support Lynne.

Lynne was excellent to work with through this process. She provided a framework of how the process would go, and did a great job of guiding us through. We were able to reach a mutually acceptable agreement in a very reasonable amount of time. She was fair throughout and our final agreement was approved smoothly. I highly recommend Lynne - she helped make a difficult process as painless as it could be.

My family's experience working with CMDR was wonderful. The staff was thorough, patient and truly wanting to help. Lynne created an environment that fostered open communication, fully understanding what was getting in the way and helping us move forward to all get to a better place. The praises go all around to Lynne and her staff for an overall fabulous experience as well as seeing the benefits of mediation to help families work through issues that felt unresolvable. Thank you!

The short answer is yes. Mediation is considerably less expensive than litigated divorces, negotiated divorces, and collaborative lawyer divorces. Even when clients retain reviewing or consulting attorneys, the savings are substantial. At CMDR, we believe that not only is the process less costly, but the product we offer is structured to carry you through the future without returns to court or even mediation. In the long run, we believe the cost savings in money, time, and angst are incalculable.
Yes, CMDR does offer a free half-hour consultation for couples who want to ensure that there is a personal compatibility with the mediator and wish to learn more about the process. Other individuals prefer to have one or both parties speak to the mediator on the telephone prior to scheduling a session. We also offer conference calls as a prelude to beginning mediation. At CMDR, staff is available daily to answer your questions and provide information.
The most significant difference in the two processes is who determines the outcome. In a litigated divorce, the judge decides. In a mediated divorce, you and your spouse decide. With the assistance of an experience mediator, you will work together to design an agreement that meets your needs and that of all family members. Rather than a cookie-cutter, boiler plate document, your final agreement will be personally tailored to your family and your unique circumstances.
