Comprehensive Divorce Mediation Services
Fairness is subjective and different for everyone. Zell Divorce Solutions strives to provide a boutique, concierge-style mediation practice, working with a limited number of clients so each person is given the focused attention that they deserve. While the traditional adversarial divorce process is often unpredictable and the parties lack control over the outcome, mediation allows for your terms to be tailored to your particular needs. Clients are able to make decisions that are informed by the law, but also of their own volition.
Divorce is about much more than numbers on a spreadsheet—the emotional impact is just as real and needs to be addressed in order to truly move forward in a healthy way. From the moment you contact us, we help you navigate what can feel like an overwhelming and uncertain process, quickly organizing the chaos into a clear, concrete plan. As part of that plan, we connect you with a trusted network of professionals—including licensed therapists for both adults and children, Certified Divorce Lending Professionals, Certified Divorce Financial Analysts, home appraisers, realtors, financial planners, post-divorce estate planners and even life coaches—so you don’t have to spend your time and energy searching for the right person for each need. Instead of piecing everything together on your own, you have a coordinated, full-service experience with steady, informed guidance at every step.

What
does divorce mediation
look like?
In divorce mediation, both partners sit down together with a neutral guide to work through the legal, financial, and practical pieces of separation in a structured setting. Instead of “fighting it out” in court, mediation focuses on conversation, clarity, and problem-solving so you can move forward with more control over the outcome and less emotional and financial cost.
Mediators serve as a neutral, independent legal guide. We explain how the law applies to your situation in plain language, outline the range of possible outcomes, and help you understand your options at each step. Our role is not to take sides or “win” for either person, but to give both of you the information and framework you need to make informed decisions.
Because you are making decisions together, mediated agreements tend to have a higher rate of long-term success. Both people have had a voice, understand the reasoning behind each choice, and are more invested in following what they helped create. Throughout the process, we keep your individual goals at the center—whether that’s stability for your children, preserving assets, staying in the home, or simply finding a workable, respectful path forward. Together, we work within what is realistically possible under the circumstances to create an agreement that feels fair, durable, and tailored to your lives.
Client Testimonials
"After a year and a half in the court system and nowhere near closer to the end of my divorce I found Sandra. She was a godsend! She truly wanted to help get us out of the court system and amicably settle our divorce. She made sure that we had timelines in place so the cycle of purgatory while being stuck in the court system could be broken and we could move forward. Sandra is caring, kind, respectful and fair. She saved us a lot of time and money. I think it would’ve taken at least another two years to finalize if I hadn’t found her. I would highly recommend Sandra to anyone going through a divorce who can amicably make decisions with their ex. I’m forever grateful to her for helping me get to the end of a very difficult chapter of my life." - S.M.
"Sandra was a true professional. She managed a complicated, difficult and emotional divorce process into a reasonable outcome for both parties." - D. L.
