About Linda Van Beers
A divorce settlement is unfamiliar ground for most people. However it is very familiar ground for me.
What that means in practice is knowing where these settlements get stuck — the pension valuation that takes months, the house nobody can agree a value on, the point where one party digs in. Most of it is predictable. Very little of it is worth going to court over. I have specialised in these settlements since 2017.
I work for both parties rather than for one side. That is what makes agreement possible without the two of you ending up in opposition to each other.
In the words of my clients I am: straight talking, calm and knowledgeable. Plain explanations. An honest assessment rather than the answer you were hoping for. A fixed fee quoted before you start.
Why use The Divorce Negotiator Rather than a Solicitor Each?
By instructing The Divorce Negotiator you avoid the need for two solicitors.
Where each party has their own solicitor, each is representing their client rather than working towards a settlement. The process is adversarial from the start.
It is also expensive. Contested cases can reach £20,000 to £30,000 for each party in legal fees alone. They run for months or sometimes years.
At the end of it a Judge decides the terms and both parties are bound by what is decided. In mediation, both parties keep control of the outcome.
Going through the divorce process is difficult enough without entering into a court battle.
Unlike most other mediators, we take you through every step: mediation, the written settlement, then the consent order itself. No need to instruct a solicitor at the end of it.
Free initial consultation, then a fixed price quote for the services required.
