Divorce Mediation in Colorado Springs

What is the Significance of Mediation?

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the intricate path of divorce? It’s completely understandable. Emotions run high, conflicts arise, and tough decisions need to be made. But let me tell you, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Have you ever considered divorce mediation? It could be the game-changer you’re looking for—a peaceful, efficient way to navigate this challenging process while maintaining control over the outcome.

Mediation is about opening the doors to constructive negotiation. It creates a safe space where you and your partner can shape the outcome of your settlement, maintaining control over your future. As a divorce mediator and coach, I’ve witnessed the remarkable transformation that mediation can bring. It’s all about fostering open communication and empowering couples to find their own solutions. By choosing this alternative approach, you can avoid the lengthy and costly courtroom battles that often drain your energy and resources. Flexibility and suitability are key, and that’s precisely what I aim to provide as a divorce mediator and coach.

“My partner and I came to Liz with a huge life-altering situation and needed guidance on co-parenting with an ex whom we share 3 kids with. Liz was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She helped us resolve an issue that previously was unresolved for almost a year. She was kind, and supportive and went above and beyond making herself available when we needed help. If you are in need of mediation or coaching on how to co-parent better Liz is your person.”

Legal Aspects of Divorce

Now, you may be wondering how mediation differs from traditional litigation. Let me break it down for you. With divorce through mediation, you create a safe and respectful space for open expression of concerns, needs, and desires. The best part? You retain control over the outcome of your settlement instead of leaving it in the hands of a judge. Your future is yours to shape. And let’s talk about the financial aspect. The average cost of divorce mediation is much less compared to lengthy courtroom battles. But it’s not just about the expenses—it’s about cooperation and problem-solving.

Mediation encourages a cooperative approach, focusing on finding solutions rather than engaging in adversarial confrontations. Confidentiality is another significant advantage of mediation. Mediation offers a private and secure space for open discussions about personal matters, unlike public court proceedings. Your sensitive information remains undisclosed, and your privacy is respected throughout the process.

“Liz was awesome to work with. I can’t even begin to explain how much she helped me through my situation. I appreciate her knowledge, advice and professionalism!”

Don't Compromise on Emotional Wellbeing

If you have children, their well-being becomes an even more significant factor. Mediation during divorce can lower conflict and preserve relationships, ensuring a smoother transition for them. It’s an environment where both parents can voice their concerns and work towards mutually agreeable solutions. By putting your children first, you can establish a foundation for positive co-parenting.

Hello! I’m Liz

I'm a mom, a divorce mediator, and coach, with a twist – I call myself a transformational conflict coach. Why? Well, after my own rough divorce, I realized things could be different.
I went through the wringer, spending way too much money and feeling way too anxious.
But it hit me: it doesn't have to be that hard.

So, I made it my mission to help folks navigate conflict without all the drama. I've worked with hundreds of people, helping them sidestep the courtroom drama and save a ton of cash. My success rate? Around 70%. That's a lot of folks walking away feeling lighter and happier – and that's what it's all about.
