Christina makes the process of divorce incredibly seamless! She is so genuine, truly cares about both parties, and makes everyone in the room feel comfortable. She is a pleasure to work with and there were always no questions asked. She provided a supportive, structured process that helped make this process less painful and more focused on collaboration and solutions. Thank you Christina!

Divorce is one of the most emotional, difficult things we can go through. Christina was so genuine, open and honest from day one. Her rates are extremely reasonable, and honestly, I spoke to quite a few mediators - but the decision to hire Christina was the easiest part of a difficult process. We never felt rushed, and I believe her loyalty to her clients and respect for the law is beyond reproach.nShe made things, clear, easy to understand, and most importantly, we both felt as though we were heard.nHer calmness and gentleness balanced us out, and in the end led to more open communication and ultimately the realization that we still loved and respected each other, and we decided not to follow through with the divorce.nIt feels odd to say, but this was a good experience for us, and in the end we can only say “we’re going to miss you, Christina”. Thank you for your experience and insight. You were born to do what you do. Forever grateful.

Christina was conscientious, impartial, listened well and was organized. She was up front about the way the appointments worked, how much the divorce would cost, and how much time it would take to create the documents. She was very clear about how the mediation process worked and how she would communicate with us. She worked to create a comfortable environment for us discuss issues and worked with us to satisfy our special needs. We were very happy with Christina and would recommend her as a mediator to others.

Christina believes that the process of divorce shouldn't be a difficult one for a couple to go through. She believes that by coming together as adults to reach an agreement that each person can live with is in the best interest of both people. Mediation is a good solution to the end of a marriage without all the drawn-out battles that litigation brings. She has seen what litigation can do to a divorcing couple, and much prefers the much more civil resolution of a marriage by mediation. Especially if there are children involved. Ultimately, divorced a couple with children needs to be able to work in the best interest of the children. By discussing what is fair, and coming up with an agreement together that makes sense for both people, the best interest of the children is honored. Christina is very knowledgeable about all aspects divorce and custody in Massachusetts—making any questions you may have easily answered. She is very personable and easy to work with. Her office is comfortable and offers a sense of privacy that is welcomed during this time that may be stressful. There is no public discussions in an open court for all to hear as in litigation. She ensures that the concerns of each person is heard, and makes sure each person feels confident in their agreement. Her fees are very reasonable and she encourages the divorcing couple to conclude the process in as few sessions as possible—keeping the cost far below what a litigation would cost. The more you can agree to on your own, the faster the process. Christina with Worcester County Mediation will help you get through divorce as easily as possible without any drawn-out, mud-slinging that can happen in litigation in court. I highly recommend her.
