Scott Leibenguth, Family Law Mediator
Divorce Mediation Lawyer Serving Northwestern Oregon
Spouses in divorce face critical, life-altering economic decisions. If they have children they also have a responsibility to their family, including their soon-to-be ex-spouse as the mother or father of their children. Couples must choose between resolving matters the hard way by fighting it out in court, or through an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) option such as mediation.
At Johnston, Root & Leibenguth, P.C. in Portland, Oregon, we encourage people considering divorce to settle matters through cooperation before resorting to more costly and time-consuming litigation.
We provide experienced family law mediator service that facilitates a healthier approach to divorce, that benefits your entire family. Contact us at (503) 946-5373 to explore efficient and cost-effective resolution.
Our Skilled Family Law Mediator
Mediation puts you in control of the outcome of your divorce under the guidance of an experienced, neutral mediator that facilitates the process. As a mediator, attorney M. Scott Leibenguth is responsive to your family's specific needs and committed to providing an environment of safety and support within which to undertake the difficult task of re-structuring important relationships.
Conflict management professionals believe that keeping your emotions out of the divorce process allows you and your spouse to sit down together in privacy with a family law mediator to working out your shared concern and draft a marital agreement in a cooperative setting versus a public, confrontational arena.
We understand that your family's well-being today and tomorrow is too important to risk playing legal games in court over child custody, child support, fair division of property and more.
The Benefits of Mediation
- Saves substantial time versus filing a traditional lawsuit in family court
- Avoids the significant financial expense to hire trial lawyers to protect your sole interest
- Puts you and your spouse in control of decisions. A judge may decide matters solely on the law and not necessarily what the family wants or needs.
- Promotes healthier relationships between parents and provides positive role models for your children
- Helps keep your emotions from undermining the need to make practical decisions for the entire family
- Helps you and your spouse fully understand the issues at stake and the future consequences of your decisions
Spouses can opt to hire their own attorney for advice. We also offer this separate mediation service.
