Mission
To help couples design a fair, respectful end to their marriage and plan the beginning of their new lives.amily.
Does divorce have to destroy a family and its memories?
We are the new approach to divorce.
Mediation One offers a low cost, low stress solution to a very difficult change.
Instead of going to court, our clients meet with a neutral mediator in relaxed, respectful sessions.
The mediator guides them through the process and offers options to an agreement on all issues, to dissolve their marriage and design their futures.
Mediation One offers the following benefits:
- Our services cost a fraction of a litigated divorce, with attorneys and court appearances.
- In litigation, children torn between warring parents end up scarred and miserable. We help prevent such casualties with a fair, flexible parenting plan.
- We offer an opportunity to end your marriage with your mutual respect and dignity intact.
- We allow you you to make your own decisions about the future care of your children and the division of your estate, instead of turning those decisions over to attorneys and judges.
- If a couple lives a distance from the Twin Cities or one spouse has moved to a distant state, we can travel to mediate in person, or mediate through technology. See the DISTANT MEDIATION page to learn more.
- We offer mediation to rural couples, involved in agriculture. See the FARM OWNERS page to learn more.
Our clients don't go to court during mediation. The entire divorce is facilitated through our office; mediation of a fair agreement, processing of the legal documents and submission of the documents to the court.

Who wants to go to court?
Family court can be an intimidating, time consuming and expensive process that most divorcing couples would rather avoid.
