Property Division Mediation

Property Division Mediation in California

Marital property in California is recognized as community property, which must be divided equally during a divorce. Moreover, when the stakes are high for both sides, property division can quickly get messy and lead to a heated dispute which prolongs the divorce process. At Lerner Conflict Resolution Center, we recommend mediation as an approach to divide marital assets and debts and resolve contentious property division issues favorably.

Leaving your hard-earned assets at the discretion of the court in the litigation process may not be ideal because only you and your ex-spouse know which might be the best way to divide your possessions between the two of you. No wonder both sides often feel dissatisfied with the property division outcome when the decision is made by a judge through litigation.

How does Property Division Mediation Work?

Whether yours is a high net worth divorce or you have a moderate amount of marital property to be divided, in each case it is your life’s savings at stake. Dividing the marital home, business assets, real estate, cars, jewelry, retirement funds, life insurance, overseas accounts, and stocks and bonds can be a complex process.

Our knowledgeable mediators at Lerner Conflict Resolution Center in California can facilitate the process, make it completely transparent, and help both parties to reach a mutually acceptable property division. Our mediator will perform the role of a neutral third party facilitator, helping you and your ex communicate and engage objectively with a focus on finding a solution that is fair to both sides.

Our property division mediation experts will enable negotiations between you and your ex in a respectful and productive environment. If one of you wants to keep the marital home, we will help you see whether your finances allow you to afford to pay the other party’s share and continue to make the remaining mortgage payments after divorce.

We will help shift the intent of the negotiations from winning, losing or hurting the other side to getting what you really want and start rebuilding your life and future financial security. If you do not want to carry the fight for assets to the bitter end, mediation could work for you.
