Worcester Divorce
Mediation Lawyer

Helping You Reach Personalized & Agreeable Family Resolutions

Divorce is never easy, even if you were the one to initiate it. However, this does not mean that the divorce process needs to be a difficult, contentious, and drawn-out battle. Mediation offers divorcing or separating couples the opportunity to create a custom divorce agreement that is tailored to their unique goals. The process is based on communication between the two parties, facilitated by a third-party mediator and, in some cases, other professionals. Unlike in traditional divorce proceedings, mediation does not require you to rely on an impartial judge to rule on the various terms of your divorce, including alimony, child custody, and child support.

Mediation puts the power back into your hands. At The Law Office of Polly A. Tatum, we assist individuals and couples navigating the family law mediation process. Whether you are concerned about where your child will live or need to make

  • She explains everything, you can ask questions, and find out if it is the right way to go for you.

    “Polly Tatum helped greatly to efficiently expedite our divorce through mediation. Her first free session is wonderful. She explains everything, you can ask questions, and find out if it is the right way to go for you. In my case, it only took two or three meetings total, and we had a divorce agreement and a court date in hand. Within less than 6 months we had worked out the agreement and were divorced. Mediation is definitely the way to go.”

  • Care, dignity and expertise.

    “Polly Tatum made what was a very difficult time for both of us that much easier to deal with by the care, dignity and expertise she showed while helping us through our divorce. She was able to facilitate a separation agreement that was mutually acceptable to both of us in just a few visits. We would both highly recommend using Mediation Advantage when faced with divorce.”

    E.B.

  • I decided to go with Mediation...It definitely can save time and money.

    “After seeing all the long, drawn-out, lengthy experiences of divorce in friends, I decided to go with Mediation. It seemed then, and still seems now, unbelievable to me that in 3 hour-long sessions, my divorce paperwork was concluded, the papers filed and the court date was set and done, all within a matter of several months and only 3 Mediation meetings. It CAN be done; I did it, maybe you can too. It definitely can save time and money.”
