Divorce Mediation in Nebraska
Skilled Advocacy for Your Mediation Needs
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process that allows parties to resolve disputes with the help of a neutral third-party mediator. In Nebraska, mediation is commonly used in family law cases such as divorce, child custody, and property division, but it can also be applied to a wide range of civil disputes. The goal of mediation is to help both parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement without the need for a court trial.
In mediation, both parties meet with a trained mediator, who facilitates discussions and helps them explore potential solutions to their conflict. The mediator does not make decisions or take sides but instead helps guide the conversation in a productive manner. The mediation process is flexible and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the parties involved.

Divorce
Mediation helps divorcing couples work through issues like property division, alimony, and financial matters. This approach often results in a more amicable divorce settlement.
Child Custody
Mediation helps parents agree on custody arrangements, focusing on the child’s well-being. This process often leads to more balanced and cooperative custody agreements.
Co-Parenting
Mediation assists parents in developing co-parenting plans, promoting effective communication. This approach fosters a healthier co-parenting relationship post-divorce.

Law Questions
What is the role of a mediator?
A mediator acts as a neutral third party to facilitate discussions between both sides. The mediator helps the parties reach agreements but does not make decisions for them.

Mediation is typically faster, less expensive, and less stressful than going to court. It also allows both parties to have more control over the outcome, fostering a more cooperative environment.
