Our procedure
First free consultation
First Tara Mediation will have free consultation with you.
Following the first consultation there will be an interview mapping your personal and financial situation. Tara Mediation will provide legal information and will help you to come to a settlement agreement for your future.
The following issues are mostly addressed:
Arrangement concerning parental access
Child support
Partner alimony
Division of property (i.e. division of pension, debts, savings, furniture)
The agreements will be recorded in a settlement agreement together with you. The legal phrasing will be done by Tara Mediation. Tara Mediation will explain the meaning of the agreement in practice.
Once the agreement has been finalized and the content of the settlement agreement and/or parenting plan has been approved by both parties, both parties can sign the agreements.
Tara Mediation will subsequently take care of filing the mutual request for divorce in court by a lawyer. Further completion of the divorce until the registration of the court’s decision with respect to the divorce into the registry of marriage will be monitored by Tara Mediation.
You do not need to appear before the lawyer or in court as both of you already have agreed upon the content of the settlement agreement and/or parenting plan and as it concerns a mutual request for divorce.
