Why Burbank and Glendale families choose mediation.
Mediation gives you and your spouse a private space to work out the terms of your divorce with one neutral professional guiding the conversation. There is no courtroom, no opposing counsel, and no judge handing down decisions about your family.

Less Money
Mediation drastically reduces the cost of divorce by keeping you out of court and minimizing attorney fees.

You need a mediator that knows the law.
Our mediator is also a licensed attorney. Padideh Jafari has over 20 years practicing California family law. She has helped 100’s of clients in Burbank and Glendale resolve divorce, custody, and complex asset division.
With an Attorney-Mediator:
- You get a real Marital Settlement Agreement. Not a summary that needs to be drafted.
- Costly legal blind spots are flagged in the room, not discovered later when they are harder to fix.
- Your final agreement is built to court standards from the start, so your filing is not bounced back for revisions.
Divorce Mediation in Burbank and Glendale
Spare Yourself the Drive to Pasadena.
Neither the Burbank Courthouse nor the Glendale Courthouse processes family law cases. Both only handle civil, criminal, and traffic matters. Instead you would have to go back and forward to the Pasadena Courthouse for your family court case.
Mediation can keep you out of all three. Most of our clients never set foot inside a courtroom. The court typically processes the judgment without requiring either spouse to appear.

Pasadena Courthouse is the family law venue for the Northeast Judicial District of Los Angeles County. It serves Burbank, Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Montrose, Pasadena, and surrounding communities. Like most Los Angeles County family law courthouses, contested cases routinely wait months for hearings and a year or more for trial. Mediation lets you bypass that timeline entirely.
