Resolving Family Conflicts through Mediation in Massachusetts

During divorce or separation, a certain level of stress and pain is unavoidable. Your life and your children's lives will change forever. However, going to court can take a serious financial and emotional toll that is avoidable for many families.

At Jennifer B. Koiles & Associates, we are dedicated to guiding Massachusetts families to solutions that truly protect their best interests. For over 30 years, we have helped clients come to family law agreements in mediation.

When Is Mediation the Right Option?

Families encounter many legal challenges. Whether you are going through a divorce, struggling to establish paternity or negotiating a guardianship, mediation offers an alternative to courtroom litigation. Our firm will represent your interests as your lawyer or act as a neutral mediator regarding all of your family law issues, including:

• Divorce and separation — Ending a long-term relationship involves making many decisions. Mediation gives you and your partner or spouse the ability to come to an agreement that is in everyone's best interests.
• Child custody — No parent wants to see a stranger make decisions about their child's future. Through mediation, both parents can come together to establish a custody plan that works for their family.
• Division of assets — When you have built a life together, it can be difficult to split everything up. We will help you take an objective view of your situation and reach a fair agreement regarding the division of assets, debts and liability.
• Paternity — Mediation is a useful approach to work out child custody, visitation and child support agreements.
• Guardianships — Mediation offers family members the ability to come together to establish a guardianship for individuals who are unable to care for themselves.

Family mediation is cost-effective and empowers our clients to take control of their own futures. If you are involved in a family law conflict in Massachusetts, call 978-744-7774 or contact us online to schedule an appointment with attorney Jennifer B. Koiles.
