Disrupting Divorce: Conversations for Women


Sep 21, 2018

Oftentimes, couples planning to divorce search for ways to end their marriage without having to go through litigation. Not all divorces have to go through the court. Divorce can be resolved through informal negotiations between you and your husband, attorney and mediator.

Lori Brandon is a PACE Registered Paralegal through the National Federation of Paralegal Associations, a Minnesota Certified Paralegal, and is listed on the Minnesota Supreme Court Roster of Qualified Providers for Alternative Dispute Resolution services. Lori has been helping people navigate family court matters since 1991, and her diverse experience includes working many years for the Minnesota Judicial Branch.

In this episode, Lori shows us how ADR Mediation offers solutions or compromises without having to worry about the judges. Offering people a more creative course of action.

Opting to go for Alternative Dispute Resolution, doesn't mean it's going to solve every problem in a couple of hours. But it will definitely help purge gaps and find more clarity in order to make better decisions.
