California Family Law Mediation Lawyer
So often, when people think of divorce, they think of the horror stories they have heard — tales of spouses turning toward resentment and children receiving emotional scars as a result of an acrimonious, bitter and public litigation process lasting many months, if not years.
I am Hal Bartholomew, a divorce attorney at the law firm of Bartholomew & Wasznicky LLP, and I am here to tell you that this scenario doesn't have to happen to you.
Mediation and collaborative divorce are two approaches that may help you and your spouse work out your differences in a respectful and constructive fashion so you can avoid going to court and putting your case in the hands of a judge who doesn't know you and your family.
Why Collaborative Law and Mediation?
I have practiced family law in California for more than 30 years and have litigated hundreds of contested divorce cases. I have seen how divorce affects children and families, and I am dedicated to helping my clients reduce these consequences through alternatives to litigation.
In addition to representing individual clients in divorce mediation and collaborative divorce proceedings, I am also frequently called upon to serve as a neutral divorce mediator.
Every divorce case presents its own unique challenges, and not every divorce can be resolved through mediation or collaboration. I firmly believe, however, that the most beneficial outcomes occur when communication is valued and each party's needs are respected.
