also known as Leskin Law & Mediation, One Day Divorce
When you were married, you never expected that your vows would land you in divorce court. You expected fulfillment from and for your spouse for a lifetime. Instead, you have ended up in court, paying lawyers potentially tens of thousands of dollars and a lifetime of hostility for your now former life partner. I concluded that there MUST be a better way to dissolve a marriage.
One Day Divorce was born from my desire to do something positive for my clients. Too often, the process of divorce itself is destructive. I wanted to create a better way. One Day Divorce is my answer to the costly, stressful, and uncertainty connected to a traditional litigated divorce.
The promise of One Day Divorce, available through Leskin Law & Mediation, is that parties will know exactly when their divorce will be final. They will know exactly how much it will cost. They will not be in an adversarial posture with their spouse. The One Day Divorce process relies on mediation and binding arbitration to insure both fairness throughout the process, efficiency and cost savings.
In traditional litigation, you will be required to mediate your case with your spouse. The courts require this. You can spend $10,000 (per spouse) to get your case ready for mediation, have the mediation and find yourself still going to court when you and your spouse cannot agree. Or, you can skip the expense, and go through a One Day Divorce, and mediate with certainty that your case will be resolved without going to court.

Court did not award Wife spousal support, and gave the very very very long half of the assets to Husband on the theory that Wife's conduct proved that assets given to her would be misused.
Court held that Wife rebutted the presumption of equal contribution. Court ordered Wife to pay Husband $5,000. (Wife was estatic because that was enough money to get him out of town and set up somewhere else.)
Husband given half equity in the home, no credit given for debt to wife.
House equity split, Wife award spousal support for eight years, half the length of the marriage.
