mediation
A Path to Resolution on your terms
Mediation is one of the most effective ways to resolve family law issues without the cost, stress, and uncertainty of court. At Grey Family Law, we use an understanding-based approach, helping you and the other party have constructive conversations that foster empathy, clarity, and practical solutions.
In mediation, you stay in control - not a judge or opposing attorney. The process is voluntary and confidential, and as neutral mediators, we do not make decisions or give legal advice. Instead, we facilitate meaningful discussions, help you explore creative solutions, and provide legal education so you can make informed choices that work for your family.
Why Choose Mediation?
-
Less Stress, Less Cost – Avoid the emotional and financial toll of litigation.
-
A More Efficient Process – Mediation can often move more efficiently than court proceedings.
-
More Control – You decide the outcome, rather than leaving it in the hands of a judge.
-
More Collaborative Solutions – Mediation gives you the opportunity to develop solutions through mutual understanding rather than having decisions imposed by the court.
We help clients navigate child custody and parenting time, child and spousal support, property division, and parentage matters. If you’re ready to explore a cooperative and cost-effective way forward, contact us today to learn more or set up a consultation.
prenuptial / postnuptial
agreements
A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can provide clarity and security for your financial future. Whether you’re getting married and want to establish financial expectations in advance, or you're already married and need to address changing circumstances, a well-drafted agreement can help protect both partners. At Grey Family Law, we help people create carefully drafted agreements that reflect their unique needs and priorities. Our approach is thorough and thoughtful, with a focus on creating an agreement that is reasonable, transparent, and tailored to your situation.
Protecting Your Future with Clarity and Confidence
uncontested adoptions
helping you grow your family with confidence
Cases We Do Not Handle
We do not take adoption cases involving:
-
ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act) matters
-
Immigration-related issues
-
Criminal background complications
If your case involves any of these factors, we are happy to refer you to other qualified adoption attorneys who can help.
Adopting a child is a deeply meaningful experience, but the legal process can feel overwhelming. At Grey Family Law, we guide you through the process, prepare and file the necessary court forms, help you navigate any required investigation or hearing, and assist with the documents needed to finalize the adoption and establish the legal parent-child relationship.
Adult Adoptions
If you want to legally recognize an existing parent-child bond with someone over 18, an adult adoption can provide important benefits. It can solidify your relationship, assist with estate planning, and even allow the adopted adult to access benefits such as health insurance. Because no investigations are required, adult adoptions are typically finalized much faster than other types of adoptions.
Second Parent (Confirmatory) Adoptions
If you and your spouse or registered domestic partner had a child using assisted reproductive technology, a second parent (or confirmatory) adoption ensures that your parental rights are legally recognized. For qualifying families, this streamlined process generally does not require an adoption investigation or hearing unless ordered by the court for good cause.
If you were not married or registered when your child was born, you may need to go through the traditional step-parent adoption process instead.
Step-Parent Adoptions
For step-parents who want to formally adopt their step-child, a step-parent adoption creates a legal parent-child relationship. At Grey Family Law, we only handle uncontested step-parent adoptions, meaning the adoption is not opposed by a living biological parent whose consent is required. We also handle cases where the child’s other biological parent is deceased.
