When parents or a couple want to decide the terms of their own divorce or parenting plan, they are able to use a process provided by the courts for Pro Se Divorce. This process does not require that the parties hire lawyers and the parties can file the necessary papers themselves.
When a couple cannot agree on the terms, or need assistance in ensuring that all parts of the process are followed correctly, they can engage in the services of a trained Mediator. A Mediator will facilitate the difficult conversation, guide the parties through the topics that need to be addressed, and provide input as to different options to accomplish their intentions.

Because the parties are the ones who decide the terms of any settlement that is reached, not the Mediator, there is NO RISK in attending to have a difficult conversation.
Mediation is a preferred means of settling terms of a divorce or parenting issues.
Since each party is not paying an attorney for their services, the only costs will be for the services of the mediator and the filing fee.
Payment can be made by Cash, check, credit card, Venmo, PayPal or Zelle. Payment is expected at the beginning of each step in the process, not all at once.
Mediations are conducted virtually for convenience and comfort. Parties do not need to be in the presence of each other and have more flexibility in scheduling. Torres Mediation conducts the mediations through the Zoom platform, which allows for long-distance participation from the comfort of one’s home or office.
