Gipe Family Law and Mediation LLC
compassionate family law solutions in black and white
Family law
“Family Law” encompasses a wide range of issues. Some firms offer clients divorce services that all but guarantee litigation (court). Our firm strives to provide a wide breadth of services without sacrificing the depth of client focus. Working with us means that you will be informed of all your options: from pre-divorce consulting and planning to mediation, negotiation, and more. Our client-led approach means that you are informed and aware of your rights and options; and that you are an active participant in your own case. Clients come to us for a multitude of services, including: premarital agreements (“prenups”); child decision-making and parenting time issues (formerly “custody” and “visitation”); protection from an unsafe or violent relationship (domestic violence and orders of protection); dissolution of marriage (divorce) and legal separations. If you aren’t sure which avenue, if any, are right for you, send us an email to find out.
Mediation
Katherine has mediated for over ten years, with work ranging from premarital agreements, child-related “custody” matters such as decision-making and parenting time, and financial settlements. Katherine’s thorough mediation services include one-on-one meetings with each and every adult party; dedicated planning and participation from everyone, and an emphasis on interest-based discussions (as opposed to position- or outcome-based). Families who use the mediation process instead of (or at least, prior-to) a traditional and adversarial method of divorcing report higher satisfaction with their outcomes. If you want to resolve your family law issue without court intervention, and are ready to put in the effort required, reach out today. Please note that Katherine is limited to serving your family as either a Mediation or an Attorney; we are professionally unable to serve as both in the same matter.
