Firm: Fink Family Law

1425 Leimert Blvd. , Oakland , California 94602

Practice Areas: Mediation

My practice with individual clients is limited to consensual dispute resolution (settlement) of family law disputes (divorce, separation, premarital agreements), without going to court and without the intervention of third party decision makers. Such processes include working in Collaborative Practice, as Settlement Counsel and as a consulting attorney for a client in mediation.. I also serve couples and families by helping them to resolve their own disputes in private and on their own terms by acting as a neutral mediator.. I help people to reach fair and equitable resolutions that respect the needs of both parents and the needs of their children. I believe that people should have every opportunity to craft their own solutions when their family undergoes a transition.  In my experience, this leads to better results and minimizes the emotional anf financial damage that can occur in a hostile and adversarial separation and divorce.

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.
