Understanding the Mediation Process
Attorney Mavrides has been a certified family law mediator since 1994. As a mediator, she can provide services as a neutral third-party, or she can represent a client in the mediation process.
As a neutral third-party mediator, her role is to ensure there is balance throughout the mediation process. This prevents either side from overreaching or intimidating the other side. As a trained mediator, if a situation becomes unbalanced, she knows how to restore things to a healthy mix. Through her years of experience, Attorney Mavrides has worked with a variety of personality types. She has developed skills to ensure the mediation is appropriately balanced.
Voluntarily Resolving Differences
Mediation itself is not a binding legal process. Once both parties agree on all divorce related matters, the mediator drafts an agreement that is submitted to the court. After the court reviews the agreement, it is approved and becomes a binding legal document, finalizing the divorce.
