Benefits of Divorce Mediation Vs. Traditional Divorce Proceedings
Divorce Mediation is Flexible
Flexibility in timing, schedules, and methods are important for a civil divorce resolution, especially if children are involved. Instead of relying on court scheduled appointments or hearings, we can schedule flexible meetings that work with both of your schedules.
Divorce Mediation is Neutral
In a traditional divorce, each person’s lawyer advocates and fights for their particular side. Often times this leads to barriers between communication, additional unnecessary demands, and ultimately a more drawn out, hostile proceeding. With CCMA’s divorce mediation services, Judge Linda Van De Water will remain neutral and not give individual advice to either side. Instead she will help the couple by actively engaging both parties in discussions on specific issues that will ultimately lead to a resolution.
Divorce Mediation Saves Time & Money
A traditional divorce involves costly lawyers and litigation often gets dragged out resulting in longer divorce resolution times. When working with a divorce mediator like CCMA solutions, you won’t need a lawyer and will be working directly with Judge Linda Van De Water for a fraction of the cost of a traditional lawyer. Since Judge Linda Van De Water is offering this personal divorce mediation approach, she can usually solve your divorce disputes with less sessions and in a significantly shorter time period.
Divorce Mediation is Private & Confidential
As a former judge, Linda Van De Water will treat your divorce matters with discretion and professionalism. In Wisconsin, divorces that go through the traditional court system are public information. Mediation allows your divorce to be handled in private.
Divorce Mediation is Easier on Your Children
With a traditional divorce the stress of the court proceedings and lawyer communication often takes a toll on children. In some cases, your children may even need to take the stand, which further stresses the child and impairs their relationship with their parents or one of their parents. CCMA’s divorce mediation services is centered around what is best for the child and due to less conflict between the parents, will make the entire divorce proceeding easier on them.
Divorce Mediation is More Personal and More Peaceful
In a traditional court proceeding, those involved will not understand your family on a personal level. Judge Linda Van De Water will take the time to learn about what is important for your family to move on. She will not take sides, but instead help both parties come up with solutions everyone involved can agree to.
Is Divorce Mediation a good option for you and your family?
For divorce mediation to be successful, it is important that you and your spouse are both willing to voluntarily attend the sessions. If you can both be willing to be civil, transparent and engage in peaceful negotiations, divorce mediation may be the right option for you. CCMA Solutions is happy to discuss any questions or concerns either party has prior to committing to this method.
What if I or my spouse already have an attorney?
If you or your spouse already have an attorney, you can still come to CCMA for mediation services. It will still cost you less, be resolved quicker and will allow your direct input into the resolution, rather than leaving it up to the judge or jury to make the determination or decisions on your case in court. The majority of court cases that haven’t already settled and are still in dispute, will be ordered to go to Mediation by the judge prior to the case proceeding to trial. The sooner you get into Mediation, the more time and money you will save. Mediation reduces the conflict of divorce and makes the process easier for children and family in years to come, including future family interaction at milestones of graduations, marriages and grandchildren where spouses will both need to attend.

I’m so glad we hired Linda instead of 2 attorneys!
Linda is wonderful to work with! She brings a tremendous amount of value to the table with her experience and ensures a fair & reasonable approach from both sides. She is able to remain impartial, understand both sides of negotiations and aid both parties in protection as well, resulting in an amicable resolution. She can infuse levity into difficult circumstances. A huge money saver as well!! I'm so glad we hired Linda instead of 2 attorneys!

I have the utmost respect for Judge Van De Water.
She is a good read of people's character and therefore knows what style to use in order to attain solutions that are acceptable to both parties.
Without Judge Van De Water's expertise, I am certain my former spouse and I would have continued to go around in circles trying to figure out how to disentangle our lives from each other.
I have the utmost respect for Judge Van De Water and highly recommend her services/expertise to anyone who needs mediation.
