Cost-Effective Resolutions in Divorce
Divorce can be complicated and raises a number of challenges for families beyond any legal disputes they may face. When considering divorce, or if you have already entered the first stages of a divorce, it is important to have a clear understanding of your rights, options, and alternatives in the divorce process.
At the Law Offices of Richard D. Goff, we are available to act as neutral mediators, even if you are represented by other counsel. We will work with you to find solutions to the issues raised in your divorce matter to meet the needs of your family. Mediation can be an effective tool to expedite the divorce process.
Experienced Mediation Services in Minnesota
Attorney Richard D. Goff is available to act as neutral mediator, working on behalf of the families of Minneapolis and surrounding Twin Cities area. In such cases, we do not represent either party, but work as a negotiator to help them reach an amicable resolution on their own. We understand the emotional difficulties faced by our clients and work diligently to achieve settlement agreements that meet the needs of their families now and into the future.
Benefits of Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
As family law mediation lawyers, our priority is to achieve a win-win situation for both parties. While we know that settlements can be complicated, we take a strategic approach to help clients understand both sides, articulate differences, and work toward an agreeable arrangement regarding issues such as property division or child custody. In many cases, this simply involves getting parties to see the bigger picture and to let go of the personal issues that can inhibit resolution.
Dispute resolution gives you more control, allowing you to be more creative about settlements and the outcomes in your case. It is significantly less expensive, takes less time and allows you to avoid uncertainties.
Consensual Special Magistrate Services
Richard D. Goff also provides services as a consensual special magistrate (CSM), assuming the role of the court upon agreement of the parties. These services have proved invaluable in cases involving business valuation, custody, spousal maintenance, or other complex issues that require more attention to detail and a faster resolution than is otherwise provided by the courts because of budgetary constraints and overloaded dockets. Mr. Goff has the experience necessary to effectively evaluate the facts and circumstances of your matter and to recommend a fair and equitable resolution to the issues presented for consideration.
Mr. Goff is available to fill the role of mediator, CSM or both, upon the agreement of the parties.
