Mediation is a voluntary process in which the parties make decisions together based on their understanding of their own views, each other’s views, and the reality they face.
The mediator works as a non-coercive neutral to help the parties negotiate an agreement that serves them better than their alternatives.
Kenneth Pierce, MBA, ABV, CVA, MAFF participates in the mediation process in different ways:
- Similar to his role as an expert, Mr. Pierce can be used as a consultant/advisor to investigate and present his conclusions to the parties and the mediator. In this role the parties define Mr. Pierce’s assignment and he is given very clear deliverables.
- Mr. Pierce can also be utilized as a co-mediator when a case involves complex financial matters. In some cases the mediator and the parties include Mr. Pierce in the entire mediation process to assist them in gaining a greater understanding of all of their financial matters.
Finally, at any point in the mediation process the parties can elect to transition the Divorce Mediation Agreement into a Collaborative Participation Agreement. If this occurs the participants can elect to name Mr. Pierce as the neutral Financial Specialist on the Collaborative Divorce team. However, if the divorce mediation is transitioned to the traditional litigation model Mr. Pierce cannot be named as an expert or a witness in the case.
