Certified Divorce Mediation in Tucson, AZ

Jane Jacobs is a certified mediator, offering affordable mediation services in the Tucson area. Both in-person and virtual appointments are available.

If you and your spouse can work amicably, and want to resolve your divorce in an efficient, cost-effective, and equitable manner, mediation may be the answer for you. Whether you have children or not, large assets, or a simple divorce, mediation allows you to manage your own divorce, so you and your spouse feel in control of the decisions being made about you and your family.

Arizona is a community property state. That means that from the date of the marriage, until the service of the divorce papers, you and your spouse share equally in all assets and/or debts acquired during that time (exceptions include gifts or inheritance).

Arizona law requires a minimum of 60 days from the service of divorce papers to the time a decree can be signed by the court. With mediation, you can easily reach a resolution that is fits within that timeframe, and save thousands in attorney fees.

The cost of mediation depends on how long it takes to reach a resolution. The key to an efficient mediation is to organize financial records, information about any property, debts, bank accounts, etc. Having a clear picture of the community makes a fair division much easier to achieve.

If minor children are involved in a divorce, the court requires that both parents take the Parent Education class. This is a one-time class that is available on-line. This class must be completed prior to any final orders being entered.

Additionally, the court requires a parenting plan and a child support order. The mediator can assist you in preparing these documents in a fair and equitable manner, to provide for the best interest of your child(ren).

Mediation can also help you reach a partial settlement, and narrow the issues for further efforts. For example, you may be able to settle all issues relating to your child(ren), and reserve financial issues for a later time. Settling partial divorce issues is not uncommon, and can save time and money.

A mediator does not represent either party, and it is recommended that both parties seek independent legal advice to answer specific legal questions they may have.
