VAN NESS LAW - YOUR DESTINATION FOR DIVORCE MEDIATION!. Mediation is the best approach when it comes to divorce. It gives you faster, cheaper, and lasting results! In mediation, the two parties retain full control of their divorce outcome. Christina Van Ness of Van Ness Law is a seasoned divorce attorney with over a decade of trial experience. She is also the co-founder of . After years of litigating, she understood people rarely looked for the high conflict of court appearances or the excessive attorney fees that went along with that approach. As a mediator, Christina acts as a 3rd party neutral and helps the parties reach agreements on all issues including division of property and debts, custody, and support. She identifies issues for discussion, assists with the exchange of information and documents, educates the parties regarding the law, and suggests settlement alternatives. Once a settlement agreement is reached, Christina drafts the Marital Settlement Agreement, the Judgment of Dissolution, and all of the court forms that are needed to process the matter as an uncontested divorce. If the matter is resolved through mediation, all of the paperwork will be processed by the mediator through the court system without the need for either party to ever appear in court.

I have practiced in Boulder County for thirty-five (35) years, and have served as a mediator for twenty-five (25) years.  I have appeared before the Court thousands of times, and have served as a mediator in more than a thousand cases.  But this experience has convinced me that the last choice in any family law matter should be to turn the decision over to the Court. Although judges are hard-working and well-meaning, trying their best to enter just verdicts, they are mere mortals nonetheless. Despite their best efforts, they often enter awards that do not seem “fair” to either of the litigants.  Thus, I encourage my clients to take all reasonable efforts to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution of their case that relieves them of the anxiety, hostility, and substantial legal costs associated with taking a matter all the way to trial. However, if a reasonable settlement cannot be negotiated, I am experienced, willing and able to present my client's case to the Court with persuasion and conviction.
