Kathleen took the conflict out of our high conflict divorce. After a ten month stalemate, she helped us reach an agreement in just four hours with effective shuttle mediation. Kathleen has the perfect combination of warmth and intelligence that allowed me to relax and think clearly. I am very satisfied with the agreement because I know she understood what was most important to me. I felt respected and heard. Her focus on the numbers made it easy to set the emotions aside and get the job done.
Kathleen Royer mediated between my co parent and I. She is a nice lady whom obviously has a lot of experience in the legal system. She understood the legal system well and could it explain it well.
However, she did very little "mediating" of core issues that stood between us. It seemed like she was more of just a 3rd party messenger between our two rooms. I got the feeling that her goal wasn't true mediation, but just to get us two to an acceptable level in the eyes of the law, by having us agree on typical and standard arrangements.
She asked me to pick my battles, but would not acknowledge that the other party was not playing nice.
By legal definition, she did her job. But I wouldn't expect her to sooth or heal any wounds that exist between parties.
I mediate with couples who are dissolving marriages or domestic partnerships, or who need to resolve family law disputes related to property, parenting or child support.
I also mediate with attorneys an their clients in family law cases.
I arbitrate family law disputes when meiation is not an option.
Our commitment is to help our clients divorce respectfully and efficiently. We offer a divorce mediation process that keeps you focused on the tasks necessary to completing your divorce, and that allows you to create the necessary substantive agreements that best suit your interests and values. Our process is more cost effective than court because you control the process and stay focused on an outcome that works for you rather than one imposed by a court.
We also offer mediation to develop parenting plans, dispute resolution, and arbitration on all family matters.
