Family Mediation

Family disputes can be financially and emotionally devastating.  Since it is your emotions, your time, your money and your family, the process should remain in your control. Mediation is an alternative to attorneys, litigators, litigation and the adversarial process.  Mediation also allows parties to craft agreements that satisfy the needs of their specific family and avoid having a system of attorneys and judges impose structures having little or nothing to do with their specific needs and desires.

Shane F. Loomis helps clients at the most sensitive and pivotal points in their lives to navigate the emotional and financial issues to discover agreements of the family and by the family that addresses the family's specific needs and goals.  

Many clients who engage our services have no previous experience with the emotional triggers that exist in family disputes and become overwhelmed by fear and anxiety around the "legal process."  By utilizing mediation, the family can separate the procedural necessities of court from the task of addressing the needs of the new family structure.  The questions and concerns about "where do I  file papers at court?" need not be connected to the "how are we both going to have a place to live?"  Mediation lets the family control the process.

Shane F. Loomis provides a safe space for families going through the emotional, financial, and transformative impacts of changes in their families whether pre-divorce or separation, during the process and after the divorce in modification proceedings.  He brings experience, compassion, and common sense to a process that all too often is undertaken without planning or evaluation.
