Divorce Mediation of Southwest Florida
The Smart Way to Divorce

Patricia Givens is an Attorney and Family Mediator specializing in pro se (no attorneys), whole-divorce settlement as an alternative to the traditional costly and emotionally-charged court process.  Her practice is limited exclusively to divorce settlement through mediation.  She is dedicted to helping families minimize the financial and emotional costs of divorce, and avoid future conflict in cases involving children. 
  
Benefits include:  Minimal exposure to the court system, no third-party agendas, substantially reduced costs, increased options, control over the process and outcomes, more mutually satisfactory results, reduced time to finalized divorce, and reduced animosity and frustration.  Pro se divorce mediation is proven to reduce the stress of divorce on divorcing Parties, as well as their children. 

Why It Works:  Patricia's highly individualized approach addresses the issues as a whole, allowing parties to navigate between issues to reach acceptable win-win solutions, avoiding the win-lose scenarios created by issue-by-issue negotiations.  She incorporates active listening, practical feedback, individualized recommendations, and proven negotiation techniques that guide Parties to the solutions that work best for them.  This approach has led to the successful resolution of the whole divorce for virtually all of Patricia's clients. 
       
Divorce Issues Include:  Paternity, Parenting Plans, Child Support, Equitable Distribution, Spousal Support (Alimony), Conflict Management, Modifications to existing Parenting Plans and Child Support, and any other divorce or family-related issues.
