Will I need my own lawyer? You will not need your own lawyer to reach your mediated agreement, although you are free to consult with one at any time if you wish. Because she is also an attorney, June can draft your mediated agreement into a legally binding document, and can also prepare and file all of the documents necessary to finalize your divorce. Both spouses will be encouraged to seek legal review of the agreement by an independent attorney before signing. If you desire, you will be given a list of attorneys who are familiar with and supportive of the mediation process for this purpose.

Imagine getting separated or divorced without destroying your children, yourself, your spouse, or your savings...
