DuPage County Mediation Attorneys

Serving Clients from Offices in Lombard and Arlington Heights

Mediation is a process of finding an out-of-court solution to a legal matter and is one of the most important aspects of the law. Mediation can resolve issues without adding extra stress to the family, and a qualified mediator can assist with some of the most difficult negotiations in divorce, estate planning, business concerns, and civil litigation. At A. Traub & Associates, our experienced mediators are ready to help guide you and your family through complicated legal waters. Our attorneys are dedicated to delivering the best possible outcome for our clients no matter what challenges they may be facing.

Mediation in Divorce and Family Law in Wheaton, Illinois

In matters of family law, especially for divorcing couples, mediation is usually preferable to litigation. An experienced legal professional at A. Traub & Associates can help you and your ex-spouse resolve practical issues that arise from the dissolution of marriage in a healthy, controlled environment. We will work with you to settle issues of spousal maintenance, child support, allocation of parental responsibilities—formerly known as child custody—and the distribution of marital property. In mediation, both spouses have the opportunity to contribute and seek compromise. For some couples, divorce the last thing upon which they can agree. An impartial third-party mediator from A. Traub & Associates can help you find solutions that are specific to your family's particular values, so you are not subjected to court rulings that do not necessarily meet your family's unique needs.

Lombard Estate Administration and Guardianship Mediation

As the finances of families become more complicated, so does estate administration. The counsel of an experienced estate administration attorney is crucial to minimize the financial consequences to heirs who receive assets from an estate—but it is not that easy. Estate administration involves more than written documents like wills and trusts. When disputes arise among family members or other heirs and beneficiaries, mediation can be essential to ensure that the wishes of both the benefactor and beneficiaries are honored. After a person dies, an estate plan—though well intended—can tear a family apart because of miscommunication. Our attorney-mediators can help resolve disputes related to estates and probate, ensuring that the wishes of the deceased will be carried out while working to make sure a family will not be torn apart in the process.

Probate courts also address issues related to guardianship of minors or disabled adults. While guardianship can be beneficial for those who need assistance with personal or financial issues or who are incapable of fully caring for themselves, determining appropriate guardianship arrangements is not always easy. In many cases, a person will be looking to ensure that they can retain as much control over their own life as possible, while also ensuring that their needs will be met. We can provide mediation services in these situations, working with family members or other parties to create agreements that will protect the rights and meet the needs of everyone involved.
