Divorce mediation
Why Beverly Hills families choose mediation.
Mediation lets you and your spouse work out the terms of your divorce in a private setting with one neutral professional, rather than in a public courtroom in front of a judge. No opposing counsel filing briefs against you, no hearings on the court docket, no surprises.
Less Billable Hours
A mediated case typically costs a small fraction of what a contested high-asset divorce runs in attorney fees and expert witnesses.
AVG. SAVINGS

Less Time Consuming
Most mediations close in a matter of weeks. Contested divorces involving business interests or real estate portfolios can stretch on for years.
TYPICAL TIMELINE

Your Mediator Should Be a Licensed Attorney.
Most mediators are not lawyers. Padideh Jafari has practiced California family law for more than 20 years, and brings that legal background to every Beverly Hills mediation she leads. The difference matters from the first session to the final signature.
With an Attorney-Mediator:
- Your agreement is drafted as a real Marital Settlement Agreement, ready to file. No memorandum of understanding that another lawyer has to convert later.
- Every term is reviewed against California family law, so what you sign today still holds together five years from now.
- Legal pitfalls are flagged in real time, before they end up baked into a signed agreement.
Divorce Mediation in Beverly Hills
Don’t Waste Your Time in the Santa Monica Courthouse.
Beverly Hills divorces file at Santa Monica Courthouse. For a contested case, that means months of hearings, court dates that interrupt work, and a public record that anyone can pull. For anyone who values their time and privacy, the courthouse process is rarely the right fit.
Most of our Beverly Hills clients never appear in court. The judgment is typically processed without either spouse having to set foot in the building.

Santa Monica Courthouse is the family law venue for the West Judicial District, which covers Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Westwood, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Culver City, and the surrounding Westside communities. Contested cases on this calendar routinely wait months for hearings and a year or more for trial. Mediation lets you sidestep that timeline and keep the proceedings private.
