CO-MEDIATION
SMARTER DECISIONS. LESS DAMAGE.
Financial clarity and parenting solutions for couples who want a more thoughtful divorce.

Co-mediation brings two professionals to the table - combining financial expertise and communication guidance - so couples can resolve important decisions with clarity, structure, and far less conflict.
Especially when there are children involved, the process matters as much as the outcome.
Why co-mediation works:
Balanced Expertise — Financial and parenting issues are addressed together, not in isolation
Lower Cost — Avoid prolonged litigation and unnecessary professional fees
Child-Focused — Build parenting plans designed for real life and long-term stability
Less Stress — A guided process reduces escalation and emotional wear
Better Decisions — Thoughtful agreements tend to last because both parties understand them
SplitSmart partners with mediator Debora Gama Lima to offer a two-neutral process that’s grounded in calm, fairness, and practical problem-solving.
Clients benefit from two experienced professionals, two perspectives, and one shared goal: helping your family move forward well.
Not every marriage lasts. That does not mean respect, stability, or your children’s future must end with it.
We help families create agreements their future selves can live with
ivorce does not have to become a fight to be effective.
PREPARING FOR MEDIATION?
Know your numbers before you start negotiating.
Financial decisions made during mediation can affect your housing, cash flow, taxes, and retirement long after the agreement is signed.
I created this Financial Preparation Guide to help you understand what to gather, what questions to ask and what to consider before making financial decisions in mediation.
PUTTING YOUR FAMILY FIRST
Children may not remember every detail.
They will remember the tone of how it happened.
Choose a process that protects them from unnecessary conflict.
