Why it matters

Mediation streamlines the divorce process and helps you avoid or minimize what comes with a messy divorce and litigation:


  • Exorbitant legal costs, running anywhere from $10,000.00 up.
  • Stress, stress and more stress.
  • Hard feelings. Not just between you and your ex, but your families as well.


Is Mediation Right for You?


EVERY DIVORCE IS UNIQUE. Suggestions from relatives or friends on what they did in their divorce may not be right for your particular situation. Cape Cod Divorce & Mediation, P.C. helps you work towards a solution that best works for your case.


We offer a free initial consultation so both parties can decide whether or not mediation is the right option for you.

Estate, Probate and Trust Mediation

Are you involved in a family dispute over inherited assets?


Is your sibling in charge of Mom or Dad’s finances and not doing a good job?


Do you own property with a family member who won’t sell?


Is the Trustee of your trust not managing it correctly or won’t comply with the trust's terms?


Before you file in court, consider mediation first!

Family Law Representation

Are you ready to end your marriage but your spouse is not on board and won’t cooperate with you?


Do you feel mediation is just not a good fit for your situation?


Were you just served with divorce papers and/or court orders and need to know what to do next?


Are you in the dark about your spouse’s finances and don’t trust them to give you all the financial information you need in your case?


Is your spouse refusing to work with you on a custody plan or give you child support?


In these cases, you will likely need to file a complaint in court to protect yourself!
