I have worked with divorce and child custody mediations for over 25 years. It has been my passion and my honor to help hundreds of families each year in making decisions about how to go forward at one of the most difficult choice points of their lives. As a former Child Custody Evaluator and a licensed counselor, I am able to help clients come up with an agreement that gives them a viable future and a workable now.
It is important to me that my clients create the best agreement that is possible, given the constraints of the differences. The care and welfare not only of each adult, but also of their children is always at the forefront when I am working. A calm and low key atmosphere is conducive to problem solving or collaboration on issues. It is important to me that my clients feel heard and understood, as this is critical in crafting agreements that will work for everyone.
I help them work out important details in their agreement that are tailored to their specific needs. The agreement is then adopted by the Court in the Divorce Decree, or Parenting Plan.
My prices are very fair and affordable at $90 per party per hour, give me a call!
History
Established in 1987.
I am Suzanne Walter, LPC, a family mediator and licensed counselor with over 25 years of experience. During the time I was a Child Custody Evaluator, I co-wrote and ran the "Coping with Divorce" class because I wanted people to be more familiar with the process of divorce. I was concerned that people did not think in terms of what they wanted for themselves and their children going forward, instead they thought only the Court could decide. In 1987 I trained at the Center for Dispute Resolution and began mediating. To me, the mediation format gives people choices, many times, that they did not know they have, and they determine much of the outcome.
