Divorce Services

For many people, the numerous changes associated with divorcing can be overwhelming. Jetta Mediation Services (JMS) aims to help guide divorcing couples through the process with the goal of creating a better a situation for all the parties involved.

JMS knows that no two divorces are alike and provides a confidential process that is tailor made for each couple. At JMS couples can restructure their family in way that is beneficial for their children and finances for a fraction of the cost of litigation.

Child Custody

Traditional divorce systems can fuel competitive and conflicting relationships between divorcing parents. Jetta Mediation Services (JMS) offers a parenting planning model that is designed to focus  custody plans on the future and the day-to-day details of raising children, rather than a win-lose battle between the divorcing parents. JMS’s philosophy about how to approach creating a parenting plan, whether the parents share a home or not, is based on research and simple observation of children’s suffering in the course of custody battles.

  • Co-parenting is an opportunity to empower each other — not control and over power
  • Parenting is always evolving and changing, it requires ongoing interaction between parties
  • Co-parenting requires ongoing discussions about the future
  • Co-parenting requires ground rules that are observed jointly
  • Parenting requires complex discussions and planning beyond determining who is better and who is worse
  • Emphasis on the current and future obligation of parents
