Divorce Mediation in Brighton, Michigan

A Constructive Approach to Resolving Divorce Disputes

Divorce does not always have to involve prolonged courtroom conflict.


Divorce mediation provides an opportunity for spouses to discuss important issues, explore potential solutions, and work toward agreements in a structured setting.

At Trost & Wolfer, PC, we bring extensive mediation and dispute resolution experience to matters involving divorce and family law.


Our Brighton office serves individuals and families throughout Livingston County, including Howell, Fenton, and surrounding communities.

What Is Divorce Mediation?

Divorce mediation is a process in which a neutral mediator facilitates discussions between spouses who are working to resolve disagreements.


The mediator helps identify issues, encourages communication, and assists the parties in exploring possible agreements.


The mediator does not serve as the individual attorney for both spouses and does not make binding decisions for them.

What Issues Can Be Addressed Through Mediation?

Divorce mediation may address:

  • Child custody and parenting time
  • Child support considerations
  • Spousal support
  • Property and asset division
  • Marital debts
  • Financial arrangements
  • Other divorce-related disagreements

Benefits of Divorce Mediation

Depending on the circumstances, mediation may provide greater flexibility, privacy, and opportunities for cooperation than contested litigation.


It may also help parties reduce the time and expense associated with resolving certain disputes.


Mediation does not guarantee agreement, and some situations may require court intervention or other legal protections.

Extensive Mediation Experience

Trost & Wolfer, PC, reports having participated in more than 3,000 mediations. The firm also has experience in arbitration and other dispute resolution matters.


This background provides a foundation for facilitating discussions involving complicated legal and personal concerns.

Is Divorce Mediation Right for You?

Mediation may be appropriate when both parties can participate voluntarily and meaningfully in discussions.

Situations involving intimidation, abuse, coercion, or significant power imbalances may require additional safeguards or may not be suitable for mediation.


Each spouse may benefit from independent legal advice before signing a final agreement.
