Collaborative Mediation Process
You Make the Decisions — Not the Court, Not the Attorneys
Mediation allows you and the other party to make the decisions, rather than leaving important family matters to a judge. It can also help avoid the significant expense of retaining attorneys for the entire process.
At OC Best Divorce & Mediation, certified mediator Nicole Nabavi uses nearly two decades of family law experience to facilitate a neutral, confidential, and non-adversarial process focused on reaching practical agreements.
You Don’t Have to Agree on Everything
Mediation is not all or nothing. Even if you cannot resolve every issue, the issues you do agree on can be put into a written agreement and prepared for filing with the court. Only the unresolved matters need to remain in dispute.
Neutral & Confidential
The mediator does not represent either party, provide legal advice, or make decisions for you. The parties remain in control of the outcome and are free to consult with an independent attorney if they choose.
Find a Practical Way Forward
Our goal is to make mediation more productive and manageable, gradually reaching agreements that both parties can accept. Legal concerns we mediate include:
- Divorce disputes
- Child custody and visitation
- Child support
- Spousal support
- Settlement discussions
- Parenting agreements
- Family law disagreements
- Pre-trial dispute resolution
- Collaborative problem-solving
Our Irvine paralegal divorce mediation services are designed to help parties address family law disputes in a more cooperative environment. The parties remain in control of the outcome and are always free to walk away if an agreement cannot be reached. We also assist clients in Laguna Hills, Newport Beach, and other nearby communities.

I am so happy I found Nicole. She has saved me. I had a bill of $14000.00 after

eight months with my attorney, with no end in sight. I was broke and had to fire my attorney and represent myself. I used Nicole to write my briefs and other forms and required pleadings for my MSC and trial. She has been an angel in my life. Nicole knows everything about my case and actually cares about me and my family. She has saved me so much money. I would advise anyone going through a divorce to call Nicole.

I can’t say enough about the competency and thoroughness of Nicole Nabavi.
…
I worked with Nicole during my divorce and without question her efforts were the difference between success and failure. Not only is she proficient and knowledgeable with legal procedures but she also has the element of compassion which is often neglected in these situations. I will always be grateful for all the help legally and personally that she so professionally provided.
