Topics to Resolve in Portland Divorce Mediation

ANYTHING that can be negotiated through lawyers or ordered in court can also be agreed to in mediation.

Matthew House, J.D.

Oregon's Most Comprehensive Divorce Mediator

Divorce mediation always addresses the main categories that must be resolved in an Oregon divorce -- child custody, parenting time, child support, asset division, debt division, spousal support or lack thereof, and a few other minor details. However, there are many more topics that Matthew chooses to invite clients to address -- optionally -- in their Marital Settlement Agreements.

Matthew will help you mediate all aspects of your divorce that you must address, and he will suggest other things that would be wise to discuss, even if not legally required. You may also raise any issues that you would like to discuss with the other party in mediation and include in your MSA.

So that you can think comprehensively but not get overwhelmed by too much information at once, it's helpful to think about your mediation decisions in these seven categories:

Child-Related Decisions

Budgets and Support

Asset Division

Debts and Credit

Tax-Related Topics

Insurance

Other Issues Important to You

You can explore them at your own pace.
