Settlement Rate
Divorce does not have to become a courtroom battle.
Mediation offers couples a more respectful, practical, and cost-effective way to reach binding agreements regarding property division, support, custody, and all other issues necessary to complete a California divorce.
Why Mediation
A better path forward
Control Your Outcome
Make your own decisions instead of turning your life over to a judge. You design the terms that work for your family.
Faster Resolution
Complete your divorce in months, not years. Avoid the delays and uncertainty of contested litigation.
Complete Privacy
Keep your personal and financial matters out of the public record. Your agreements remain confidential.
Lower Costs
Substantially less expensive than traditional courtroom proceedings. One neutral mediator instead of two opposing attorneys.
Our Approach
Why work with
Conrad & Associates
Not all mediators bring real litigation experience to the table. When mediation is guided by an attorney who has spent years in California family court, the process benefits from practical legal knowledge, issue spotting, and the ability to identify terms that are likely to hold up when reduced to a formal judgment.
Clients benefit from a process designed not just to settle, but to settle intelligently.

Is This Right For You?
Who mediation is for
Mediation is often a strong fit for couples who want to stay out of court, maintain privacy, reduce fees, preserve a working co-parenting relationship, or simply reach a fair resolution without unnecessary escalation.
It can work for amicable matters and also for cases where communication is strained, so long as both parties are willing to participate in good faith.
