Description
Alta is a tenacious mediator who focuses on family law disputes. Since 2019, Alta has mediated 412 private clients and nearly a thousand tough court-referred legal disputes. She works actively with both parties and includes their attorneys when requested to help them achieve a better resolution than either side would achieve in court. Alta honed her skills as a Family and Divorce Mediator with Mediation Network Foundation NPO and is known for her patience and excellence in resolving high-emotion conflicts. Alta also mediates Domestic Violence and harassment cases and uses her understanding of the complex dynamics on both sides of the table to resolve cases. Her more than 16 years of extensive legal background as a paralegal enhance her risk analysis discussions and help create early opportunities for settlement.

Mediation is a negotiated, voluntary dispute resolution process. It gives partners/spouses/co-parents an opportunity to be in control of an amicable, cost-effective, and much more efficient and tailor-made divorce/separation. It is a more holistic approach to the issues at hand! It’s not just about the legal issues, but about what feels fair and what is age-appropriate and in the children’s best interest (if any).

Alta's role as the mediator is to provide legal and other relevant information (not legal advice), to enable the parties to make informed decisions together. The decisions in the room are made by the parties. As a mediator, I am there to assist with the negotiation and to help generate solutions so that an agreement can be reached. I will not simply assess a situation and dictate a solution. Parties to a dispute have to live with the outcome.

Mediation Network Foundation NPO also recommends a Co-Mediation Model for divorce/separation/resolution of relationship issues, especially where there are children concerned. This means you will have two mediators, one with a legal background and one with a psychology/child development background. This ensures that all aspects around finances, legalities as well as emotional and developmental needs are considered.
