Choosing Between Mediation and Litigation in California Divorces

In some cases, aggressive litigation may not be necessary to achieve an equitable division of property. If you and your spouse remain amicable, you may be able to pursue mediation instead. During mediation, you can negotiate with your spouse to set the terms for your final divorce settlement without a judge making decisions for you.

However, mediation still benefits from expert legal counsel and accurate valuation of your assets. At Rodriguez Lagorio, LLP, we are experienced in both mediation and litigation of divorces and assets division. We can assist you with choosing the most effective solution for your dispute and support you with whatever settlement method you prefer.
