Q.

When is Kitchen Table Approach the best process to choose?

A.

The Kitchen Table approach is best:

● When you already know what you want and just want help getting the paperwork finalized with the court.

●  When money is an issue.  This is our most modestly priced service.

● When negotiation styles are balanced and you don't need individual legal advice. 

●  For couples who do not have complex financial or child related issues.

Kitchen Table

---

The Kitchen Table approach is designed for couples that agree on the terms of their divorce, but would like help with the paperwork. 

The process starts with an initial consultation with a Mediator who explains the process and answers questions.

Clients are then provided with a Questionnaire that the couple completes together around "the kitchen table," or some other comfortable location.  The Questionnaire is designed to help clients address the issues relevant to their divorce. 

The Divorce Shoppe staff then drafts the necessary paperwork based on a Questionnaire completed by the couple.  A mediating attorney, working with the clients as a neutral, reviews and explains the documents to the couple, and oversees the "signing." 

After the documents are signed, the Mediator assures that the papers are filed with the court, then oversees their progress through the court system until they have been approved and finalized by a judge.
