A COMPASSIONATE ALTERNATIVE TO FAMILY COURT
Why Choose Mediation for Your Divorce or Family Dispute?
Taking a family law dispute to California court places intimate personal details into public record and hands life-altering decisions — like parenting schedules and asset division — over to a judge who does not know your family.
Traditional litigation frequently escalates conflict, drains savings on legal battles, and creates long-term hostility between co-parents.
At NS Mediation Group, we offer a structured, confidential space designed to de-escalate tension. Mediator David Schlueter combines nearly 40 years of legal expertise with empathetic guidance to help families craft balanced, mutually agreeable settlement terms that stand the test of time.

THE NS MEDIATION GROUP ADVANTAGE
A Private, Respectful Path Forward
1
Absolute Privacy & Confidentiality
Family court filings, financial disclosures, and custody disagreements become public record in courtroom litigation. Mediation is 100% confidential under California Evidence Code, protecting your personal dignity, financial affairs, and family privacy.
2
Preservation of Co-Parenting Relationships
Court trials foster a win-or-lose mindset that damages future communication. Mediation emphasizes constructive dialogue and mutual respect, laying a healthy foundation for effective co-parenting moving forward.
3
Nearly 40 Years of Legal Perspective
David Schlueter’s deep background in litigation allows him to give both parties a clear, realistic perspective on how California courts evaluate family law issues — helping you avoid unrealistic expectations and reach swift compromises.
4
Save Tens of Thousands in Fees
Litigating a divorce through two separate adversarial law firms can cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mediation typically reaches a comprehensive agreement in a fraction of the time and cost.
FLEXIBLE VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON MEDIATION
