You are quite knowledgeable about custody, child support and spousal support options and resources in Oregon. Thanks for your guidance. I felt safe and supported throughout the meetings. You helped us hear each other and gave us a great new start for communicating about the children. - Micah F. Alimony is the most frequently disputed, and often one of the most highly charged issues in a divorce.

A divorce is twice as challenging (emotionally, financially, and logistically) when there are children from the marriage. Research shows that divorce is one of the most stressful events that people can encounter in life.

Stuart was immensely helpful. He was able to answer many complicated and nuances aspects of my separation and eventual divorce. I strongly believe that his guidance kept us out of court, resulting in a more amicable post-divorce relationship with my co-parent. For that I am grateful.

Stuart clear communicated expectations and what came next. He was neutral and unbiased. While our divorce has been mostly amicable, we had one point of contention and potential barrier that Stuart took the time to set up a phone call quickly to help work out the situation. Happy we chose mediation and Stuart was great.

Stuart was able to offer us crucial timely and professional mediation assistance.
I felt my goals were supported and clarified in the meeting, and he helped to interpret my position to the other participants, and facilitate brief discussion. I felt some measure of closure afterwards.
