About

Divorce and Family BusinessMediation That Protects Your Finances and Your Family: Divorce and family business issues are difficult enough without unnecessary conflict, expense, and uncertainty. My goal is to help you and your family member resolve important issues in a constructive, cost-effective way while maintaining greater control over your family's future. I am Kathleen Wobber, a Maryland attorney with decades of legal experience and extensive training in mediation and Collaborative Law. I help families work through the difficult decisions involved in divorce and family business disputes, including parenting arrangements, child support, alimony, division of assets and debts, separation agreements and family business transitions. How can mediation help you? Reduce conflict and expense. Mediation provides an opportunity to work through disagreements without the expense and adversarial nature that can accompany litigation. Make informed decisions. I help you identify the issues, understand your options, and work toward practical solutions that reflect your family's needs and priorities. Keep your family in mind. When children are involved, mediation can help parents focus on their children's needs and develop workable arrangements for the future. Maintain control over the outcome. Rather than leaving every disputed issue to a judge, you and your spouse have the opportunity to develop your own agreements. Move forward with a plan. Depending on your needs and the issues resolved, I can prepare a term sheet summarizing your agreements or draft a comprehensive separation agreement. My approach is structured and practical. We begin by identifying the issues to be addressed, organize our discussions around an agenda, and work through the issues systematically. Many mediations can be completed in approximately three sessions, although the number of sessions depends on the complexity of the matter and the participants' ability to reach agreement. As a neutral mediator, I do not represent either spouse or make decisions for you. Each participant may consult independent legal counsel for advice about individual rights and obligations. Whether you are just beginning to consider divorce or are already separated and need help resolving outstanding issues, mediation may provide a more constructive path forward. Contact me to discuss whether mediation is appropriate for your situation.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer mediation services designed to help couples resolve family law disputes in a practical and cost-effective manner. My fees and arrangements depend on the nature and complexity of the issues involved. My goal is to make efficient use of mediation time, with preparation and organized sessions that focus on resolving the matters that need attention. I also offer discounts for military members and first responders. Please contact me to discuss your circumstances, fees, and any applicable discount.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I begin by gathering information about you, your spouse, and the issues you would like to resolve. Reviewing this information in advance helps us use our first session productively. During the initial appointment, I explain the mediation process, discuss your goals, identify the issues that need to be addressed, and establish a plan for proceeding. Sessions follow an agenda to keep discussions focused. Between sessions, you may be asked to gather financial information, consider proposals, or complete other tasks that help move the process forward. When agreements are reached, I can prepare a term sheet summarizing the agreed-upon terms or draft a separation agreement, depending on your needs and the circumstances.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned my Juris Doctor from William & Mary Law School in 1992. Before law school, I worked for the United States Secret Service. My legal background includes extensive family law experience, along with training and experience in mediation and Collaborative Law. I have also held leadership positions in collaborative professional organizations and taught family law classes on Collaborative Law at the University of Maryland and the University of Baltimore.
