Beaverton & Portland Divorce Mediator Matthew House, J.D.
Beaverton divorce mediator Matthew House will help you complete all aspects of an Oregon divorce from beginning to end. A child of divorced parents, Matthew brings compassion, flexibility, and extensive training in multiple fields that divorcing people need. He is the only Portland-area mediator who has: a law degree, intensive training as a Family Law Financial Analyst, 20 years as a mediator and child-centered divorce coach, seven years as a K-12 educator, and a notary commission. He is unique among mediators in the tri-county area, as he provides no-cost meetings during and after mediation for clients' children (ages 12-22).
Divorce Without Attorneys: Steps to Long-Term Peace & Co-Parenting
Only you, the other spouse, and Matthew will be present. By not including attorneys in the room, you will save considerable money, to be sure, and you will be focused on solutions and compromise. Matthew has learned from two decades of experience that two adults can be reasonable, even at a time of great difficulty. Matthew will help you achieve this by modeling the patience, openmindedness and empathy that you should expect from a professional but also that you can achieve for yourselves.
Working through the issues with just your spouse and a law-trained, neutral facilitator, you will see that you can interact cooperatively with the other party. Knowing that you succeeded in communicating and solving problems even in the most contentious circumstances will give you confidence that your future interactions will also be low-conflict and solution-oriented. That's important for the years to come as co-parents. Even if you have no minor children, you will probably need to collaborate with your spouse to complete aspects of the divorce after it is finalized, and you may also cross paths with each other from time to time for other reasons.
