Founded in 2003 by Attorney Melissa Barth, the firm was established with a singular mission: to provide couples with a dignified, affordable, and less adversarial alternative to traditional divorce litigation.

The team is comprised of experienced attorney-mediators who combine their legal expertise with a commitment to peaceful conflict resolution, empowering couples to make informed decisions about their own futures.
The Mediation Advantage
Unlike traditional law firms that may encourage aggressive litigation, Wise Way to Divorce focuses exclusively on mediation. This approach offers several distinct benefits:
- Cost-Effective Solutions: The firm operates on a flat-fee basis, eliminating the uncertainty of hourly billing and expensive retainers. This often results in a fraction of the cost compared to a contested divorce.
- Control and Flexibility: Couples maintain control over the outcome of their divorce, rather than leaving important decisions about their children and assets in the hands of a judge.
- Reduced Stress: By fostering an environment of cooperation rather than confrontation, the firm helps preserve family relationships, which is particularly crucial when children are involved.
- Efficiency: The structured mediation process is typically much faster than the traditional court system, allowing parties to move forward with their lives sooner.
