Two Calmer, Out-of-Court Paths Through a Hard Change

When a relationship or family is going through a difficult transition, there are ways to move forward without turning everything into a courtroom battle.

There Is Another Way Forward

Divorce and family changes can be difficult enough without adding unnecessary conflict.

Gina Marie DePrima brings years of experience in divorce and family law to a different kind of practice — helping people find constructive ways to resolve difficult issues outside of court.

Through mediation and collaborative law, families can work toward agreements with greater privacy, dignity, and control over the decisions that affect their lives.

Mediation

A neutral guide for both of you.

In mediation, Gina serves as a neutral. She does not represent either spouse.

Instead, she guides the conversation, helps both people understand the issues, and works with them toward an agreement that addresses the needs and concerns of everyone involved.

Mediation can provide a more private, focused, and often less costly alternative to going through a contested court process.

Key points:

Collaborative Law

Individual legal representation without going to court.

In collaborative law, Gina represents one client, while the other spouse has their own attorney.

Everyone agrees from the beginning to work toward resolving the matter outside of court. The process allows each person to receive individual legal advice while working together toward a mutually acceptable resolution.

Key points:

A Different Approach to a Difficult Time

Gina spent years working within the traditional divorce litigation system. Over time, she saw that fighting in court does not always give families what they actually need.

Mediation and collaborative law offer another path — one centered on communication, informed decisions, and finding solutions that allow people to move forward.

More Control

You have a greater voice in the decisions that shape your family's future.

More Privacy

Work toward solutions outside the public courtroom process.

More Constructive

Focus on resolving problems rather than escalating conflict.

Which Path Is Right for You?

Mediation and collaborative law can both provide alternatives to traditional litigation, but they work differently.

Mediation may be a fit if

You are comfortable working together with the guidance of a neutral professional and want to reach an agreement together.

Collaborative law may be a fit if:

You want your own attorney providing individual legal advice while both sides commit to resolving the matter outside of court.

Not sure which approach makes sense for your situation? A conversation can help you understand your options.
