Feeling nervous about your first meeting with a family law attorney? That’s completely understandable.

Bring your questions, any documents you have, and an open mind. Our goal is to help you understand your options and feel more prepared for the road ahead.

If you’re considering divorce or need guidance with a family law matter, we’re here to help.

Mediation has changed in a good way. Virtual sessions and digital document exchange mean less time off work, less back and forth, and more flexibility for families who already have a lot on their plate.

If you've been putting off mediation because it felt like one more thing to fit into an already full schedule, it might be easier than you think.

Give us a call at (916) 226-1305 or visit shearerlawandmediation.com to schedule a consultation.

Technology is making co-parenting easier. Shared custody calendars, expense trackers, messaging apps that keep everything on record, these tools take a lot of the mental load off busy parents.

If juggling pickup schedules and expenses across texts and sticky notes feels overwhelming, there's likely an app for that.

October always feels like a good reset point, and it's a fitting reminder of what this work is really about.

Every day, we get to help people close one chapter of their life and step into a new one with a little more clarity and a little less weight on their shoulders.

To everyone navigating a hard transition this month, wherever you are in the process, keep going. You're closer to the other side than it feels right now.

Co-parenting isn't about being perfect. It's about being consistent. A quick text confirming pickup time. A shared calendar you both actually check. Showing up when you say you will, even on the hard days.

None of these things are dramatic on their own. But together, they add up to a lot less stress, for your kids, and for you. Kids don't need parents who agree on everything. They need parents who can work together on the things that matter most.

If co-parenting feels harder than it should right now, you don't have to figure it out alone. Give us a call at (916) 226-1305 or reach out to schedule a time to talk. 💛

We've watched a lot of people walk through our doors at what feels like the lowest point in their lives. Scared. Exhausted. Not sure how they'll get through the next six months, let alone rebuild.

Then we watch them do it anyway.

Resilience isn't always dramatic. Sometimes it's just showing up to a mediation session after a sleepless night. Sometimes it's co-parenting with someone you're still upset with, because your kids come first. Sometimes it's signing the final paperwork and realizing you're still standing.

If you're in the middle of this right now and it feels impossible, it won't always feel this way. 💛

Fun fact Friday: research shows kids adjust better after divorce based on how well their parents get along, not on whether custody is 50/50 or some other split.

The schedule matters way less than the peace between parents. It's something I remind clients all the time, because it's easy to obsess over getting the "perfect" split and forget the bigger picture. Cooperation is the real game changer, not the calendar.

Ever wondered what actually happens in mediation? Here's the real process, step by step 👇

What Actually Happens in Mediation, Step by Step
Just a clear path forward.

Step 1: Intake Call
A quick conversation first, no paperwork yet. Just making sure mediation is the right fit.

Step 2: Gathering Information
You share the basics: assets, debts, income, and parenting concerns. We help you get it all organized.

Step 3: The First Session
You and your spouse sit down together. We keep things calm and moving forward.

Step 4: Working Through the Details
One issue at a time: property, support, custody, parenting time. You stay in control.

Step 5: Reaching an Agreement
Once you agree, it will be put in writing as your official settlement.

Step 6: Filing with the Court
We handle the paperwork and file it. No extra trips, no added stress.
