How can we help?

• Divorce and legal separation mediation: Resolve parenting plans, child and spousal support, property division and debts. Scott combines legal knowledge and financial analysis to address home buyouts, business interests, retirement accounts, stock options and RSUs, and other complex assets.
• Co-parenting and co-mediation: Scott offers co-mediation with Mary Levin, a co-parenting specialist. Together, they bring legal, financial and parenting perspectives to help parents build practical schedules, improve communication and support their children through change.
• Prenuptial agreements: Mediation for couples who want to develop terms together, plus drafting and individual review through separate attorney engagements. Discuss expectations about property, businesses, debt and financial responsibilities before marriage.
• Divorce financial analysis: Get help creating and evaluating settlement proposals, comparing support and property division options, and understanding how proposed agreements may affect your financial future.
• Consulting attorney services: Individual legal advice, settlement review and help preparing for mediation, offered in separate matters in which Scott is not serving as the couple’s mediator.

Flat fees and support through judgment

Divorce mediation, prenuptial agreement mediation and prenuptial drafting are offered at flat fees. For divorce mediation, the flat fee includes the meetings specified in your agreement, preparation of your formal settlement agreement once terms are agreed, and drafting and filing all required court forms through judgment. Additional mediation time is billed at the hourly rate agreed upon before you begin. Prenup reviews, consulting attorney services and separate financial analysis reviews are billed hourly.

Scott earned his J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law and his B.A., magna cum laude, from New York University. He is a Mediate.com Certified Mediator with its Senior Mediator designation and a Certified Advanced Practitioner Member of the Academy of Professional Family Mediators.

In mediation, Scott serves as a neutral and represents neither spouse individually. He provides individual legal advice only through separate engagements and does not represent one spouse against the other in contested litigation.
