With Divorce With Dignity-Contra Costa, you don’t need to battle your spouse or hand over your life to litigating attorneys and the courts.

Mediation can help preserve relationships, which often get destroyed in the traditional divorce method, involving long and dragging litigations. Unlike the adversarial litigation process, mediation is a collaborative process that doesn’t evoke the win-or-lose feeling commonly felt with traditional divorces.

With Divorce With Dignity-Contra Costa, you don’t need to battle your spouse or hand over your life to litigating attorneys and the courts. Our Mediation-centered approach will take you through the divorce process and save you thousands of dollars over-litigating your matter, as well as create a much better outcome. We guide you through the process and help you to achieve a divorce that is safe, affordable, and fair. You are both involved in making the decisions, so by mediating, you are able to reach a mutual agreement that meets your individual needs.

In our office, there is no pressure to force you to do anything that does not feel safe and comfortable to you. If we can help you come to an agreement, then you do not even have to go to court. We’ll take care of everything for you, and your job will be to figure out how to move forward to your new way of life.

There are no retainers, hidden costs, etc. Our clients come from all walks of life, including attorneys who would prefer to achieve their divorce, with dignity, rather than litigate. We know that what you are going through is not easy, but we will do everything we can to support you and your children through this process.
