• Paternity
• Spousal Support
  Because family law, at least in California, is “form-driven” with many statutory requirements (individual laws affecting the divorce), a mediator experienced in family law is essential if he/she will be successful in assisting the parties to reach a resolution and have a judgment entered. While mediators do not provide legal advice nor do they provide any “advocacy” to the mediating parties, it is always helpful for the mediator to know the procedures required in the local courts because unless all of the “I’s and T’s” are appropriately treated, cases can get stalled when a judgment is submitted for signing (the Judgment is the document that divides the property, identifies and resolve child issues, defines child and/or spousal [alimony] support and acts as the instrument that records the dissolution of the marriage or the divorce). An experienced Family Law Mediator can identify and provide limited assistance with the required court forms and procedures.

Property Law

• Real Estate Litigation
  Activities carried out by special masters are as diverse as the actions taken by courts. They are often appointed as facilitators in child custody cases, for example, but the term “special master” was also used to describe the person appointed by Congress to administer compensation for the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York. The term often appears in original jurisdiction cases decided by the Supreme Court; these are often cases involving boundary disputes between the states, with a special master appointed to resolve questions of geography or historical claims. See, for example, New Jersey v. New York, 523 US 767 (1998)
