Robin shares the key questions you should ask when hiring a divorce mediator

I know what it feels like to go through divorce. Like you, I got divorced and had to completely start my life over.

At 43 years old, my husband abruptly ended our marriage to marry someone else.

I had two young children that I was primarily responsible for. I had put my professional life on hold to be a stay at home parent. I had to re-build my career, but felt sick about having to go back to the dirty, messy world of divorce litigation. That is how Graine Mediation was born.

I am here to help you get through your divorce cleanly and with a focus on what really matters to you.

How I Help You

img-Clarity-and-Confidence

Clarity & Confidence:

I explain the law, finance, and tax issues in plain English, so you know exactly what is happening.
img-Fair-Settlements

Fair Settlements:

Together, we create mutually agreeable solutions that protect your children, your home, and your financial future.
img-Lower-Costs

Lower Costs:

I have an efficient process that will save you thousands of dollars compared to other mediation services and the law-firm route.
img-Future-Focused

Future-Focused:

We will focus on getting you in a position to build the life you deserve, versus dwelling on the life you are leaving behind.

Divorce comes down to three things: kids, money, real estate.

In mediation, we focus on these essentials and build a settlement that secures your future without wasting time and energy on expensive legal battles.

I was a divorce litigator. I know the nonsense. I will get you around all of that to reach a mutually agreeable settlement.
