Divorce Mediation Attorneys Serving Milwaukee & Waukesha
Divorce is often sensitive and highly emotional, especially if you share finances, children or property with your spouse. Taking your case to trial can make things even more stressful. Luckily, there are other ways.
Mediation could be the right option. It is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that helps spouses avoid a long and expensive legal battle. Instead, it allows them to negotiate fair resolutions with the help of an unbiased mediator.
When you and your spouse need help making decisions during your divorce, working with a certified mediator may help. At D'Angelo & Grabow, LLP, we offer Wisconsin divorce mediation services throughout the Waukesha area, including those located in Pewaukee, Milwaukee, Sussex and Washington County.

Wisconsin Mediation Laws To Know About
Mediation is an effective, private and less expensive route for divorce than litigation. However, Wisconsin laws changed on July 1, 2017, regarding the role of the mediator. The new law allows attorneys like ours to:
- Serve as the neutral mediator
