Family Law mediation uses a different approach to resolving conflicts between two parties that have decided they can no longer be legally bound to each other, but want an amicable dissolution of their marriage.

Parties who mediate achieve long lasting results. Research shows that mediated agreements result in less litigation later because the parties avoid the destructive struggle of the “win” or “lose” mentality.  

The traditional litigation process adds a layer of competitiveness and defensiveness that often leaves the people involved without appropriate resolution to the real issues at hand.

The importance of maintaining a working relationship for children, pets, or shared properties, is often forgotten in a less-than-civil battle to “win.” 

As a mediator, Sandra Burt is able to structure agreements that enable long lasting peace, stability and security for families with and without children.
