Helping Couples Understand Each Other
Mr. Craig's legal roots started in mediation — he served as a certified mediator before becoming a family law attorney. He effectively facilitates conversations with couples, helping you understand what each other is saying and building on the things you agree on.
In many circumstances, couples are surprised to discover that when they understand each other and themselves, their individual needs might not conflict. For example, a couple has fought bitterly about the future of their cabin. After engaging in an open discussion with the help of a certified mediator, the wife discovers she likes using the cabin in the summer, while the husband finds he prefers to use the cabin in the fall. Mr. Craig's experience with mediation helps you get to the heart of the matter, so that you can understand one another's needs and reach an agreement.
Mediation helps you divide your property based on your individual needs. It can be an invaluable tool when working with:
- Business property
- Stocks, bonds and 401(k) plans
- Residential property and vacation homes
- Boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles and other recreational items
Through mediation, couples also have the chance to divide their debts based on their individual circumstances. Traditional divorce doesn't allow for this kind of flexibility.
