2009 Divorce Mediation Services“As an attorney and a mediator, I’m delighted with the results of Susan Allan’s Divorce Forum Collaborative Model. Her recommended use of a dissolution financial expert or CFDA whose financial expertise exceeds any divorce lawyer I’ve met, clarifies all the monetary issues so that much of the work necessary to reach an agreement during mediation is already clarified and completed. Her use of Compassionate Communication SM in all her mediations is unique to any practitioner in the country. Her inclusion of additional experts, including parenting, and real estate specialists as part of the collaborative process should they be necessary, has proven effective time and time again. The results have been peaceful, time-efficient, cost-effective dissolution work that has benefited me and my clients in the highest possible way. I believe there is no better approach to divorce anywhere in the world today. Arnold S. Jaffe, Esq. Santa Barbara attorney “As a member of the Association of Conflict Resolution (ACR) and the Associate Executive Director of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, Dispute Resolution Services Inc., I highly recommend Susan Allan. Susan Allan brings an innovative approach to “Collaborative Divorce Mediation”. Ms. Allan is refreshing in her consumer-friendly approach. She is a new voice in the collaborative mediation arena and definitely needs to be heard by our membership. Ms. Allan is one of the top leading experts and practitioners in Southern California utilizing collaboration in divorce mediation. This is a new and growing field. I highly recommend Susan Allan to present at our annual conference.” Deborah A. Thomas, Associate Executive Director, Los Angeles County Bar association, Dispute resolution Service Inc. February 22, 2006 “Susan eliminates barriers, traveling the way of spirit and heart. She allows people to enter that area, and say ‘Yes’ instead of “No”. Susan Allan is the wings people glide on as she brings them through these difficult times seeing through the clear eye of the eagle. She respects their path and their history so that they go forward without their burdens.” Charles R. Quintero, Peacemaker to the Navajo Nations, California certified mediator and arbitrator “Susan Allan’s unique mediation model adds two new components to traditional mediation. The first is the immediate utilization of a certified divorce financial analyst or CPA specializing in dissolution or CPA in non-divorce issues. With this strategy, mediation time is cut in half as appropriate financial and legal guidelines are offered to both parties. The second is her use of Nonviolent Communication SM which has the mediator “translate” critical and judgmental words into the unmet needs of each party. As I have observed when working with Susan, this allows real compassion to grow in the most challenging of environments. She has assisted many of my clients to resolve their issues in a sane, economical and timely way.” Deanie Kramer, Certified Mediator and Mediator for Divorce Court Television; President Dispute Resolution Specialists, Inc. and Divorce Resource, Inc. ”In my 27 years as a Family Law Litigator and Judge Pro-tem and in my 10 years as a Family Law Mediator since then, I have never experienced such a dramatic positive turnaround in a client in such a short period of time. It not only makes my work easier, but it makes it actually enjoyable. At the first mediation session with her husband, she was a victim, distraught, angry, blaming, tearful, into here drama, focused on the past and fearful for her future. In the second mediation session she was peaceful, focused on the present, with clarity about who and where she was, where she wanted to go and how she was going to get there. In between sessions she was able to communicate with her husband in a way that brought him to tears. What happened between sessions? - - she followed up on my suggestion that she contact Susan Allan and it made all the difference. Thank you so much.” Richard J. Dolwig, Jr. Family Law Judge pro-tem (Ret.), Cert. Family Law Specialist (Ret.) Attorney and Counselor at Law Mediator and Arbitrator based in Santa Barbara, CA. The Divorce Forum SM Mediation offers an effective alternative to conventional divorce and its high risk of unnecessary emotional and financial damage. Our mission is to provide skills and support so that people can work together to resolve their disputes while protecting the assets and well-being of the entire family.

This unique collaborative divorce model, pioneered by certified mediator Susan Allan, includes the following components described below: To find out if mediation is appropriate for you, call us at 818-314-1200 for a complimentary conversation to discuss all your options and concerns. susanallan@thedivorceforum.com Mediators charge an hourly fee that can be shared by both parties in a way that you agree is fair. Although this process may involve the services of mediators, attorneys, and other specialists the costs of a mediated divorce are typically far less costly than conventional divorce. That's because you, and not your attorneys, are doing the talking. When both parties agree to work together toward a common goal and to share expenses, costs - including time, money, and emotional costs – the process is less expensive than those of a contested and therefore litigated, court-directed divorce. Mediation Package of 12 hour-long telephone sessions for $1,200 The services of Susan Allan are billed at $200 per hour for in-person mediation. Most clients enjoy paying for our services through www.paypal.com utilizing their online secure payment service so that you may use a check or credit card for payment. The services of an attorney or paralegal are required to file the mediated agreement that is created by your work with Susan Allan and all mediators. Normally attorneys require less than 3 hours completing the documents for filing and filing of mediated divorce agreements.

Most people never reach their goals; is it because they don’t want to or because they are unclear about the process of creating and reaching goals? Recently, the scientific principles of quantum physics have become available for layman. The principles of quantum physics are similar to the “beliefs” long held to be true by Enlightened Masters of Asia. Whether you are scientific and “left-brained” or spiritual and “right-brained”, my clients have embraced this process of achieving goals. 1. Clarity of goals: Are you clear about your destination? If not, how may you reach it? 2. Communication Skills: Are you living on an emotional roller coaster much of the time? When you consider your life; are you thinking about your future in a positive and a negative way, unaware of the effect of your thoughts on your actions? 3. Action skills: Are you moving the action forward or backwards; are you clearly requesting what you need? Do your actions produce the results that you seek? Do you repeat strategies that have been unsuccessful in the past, expecting the results to be different now? 4. Consistency: Do you focus on the same goal every day or do you vacillate? Can you maintain inner peace except for “vacations of pain” of less than 5 minutes at a time? Do all your actions point to reaching your goal or do you often feel confused? 5. Momentum: Either you increase the velocity with which you approach your goal or you are not; which is most true for you? 6. Resolve: Do you give up before you arrive at your goal? Do you have faith in your abilities and know how to attract the support you need? Do you keep moving or do you check out? Do you criticize yourself for taking the safer route? 7. Destinations: Do you feel torn about your goals after you create them? Do you attempt to educate yourself by pointing out your failings or do you consider every attempt at a goal as courageous? Training sessions include the following skill-sets: 1. Compassionate Communication SM, also known as Nonviolent Communication SM, includes self-empathy, empathy and shifting from self-critical/critical thinking to inner peace for yourself and others. 2. Role plays using Susan Allan’s Marital Mediation© which develop communication habits and skills to develop unprecedented peaceful conversations, even with war-torn marriages and relationships that have presented long-term challenges. 3. “41/2 Minutes to Peace” encourages the practice of skills that return you to peace within this limited period of time. By developing this habit, new neural pathways are formed, our quantum field shifts and more peace is generated from within our own inner conversation. 4. The 4 Questions of Inquiry: This training, based on The Work© of Byron Katie, generates a new habit of pragmatism for those who have the habit of “emotional roller coaster” thinking. By considering the basis of your “story” and whether there is evidence for it or not; and by training yourself to look for proof instead of pain, you begin to generate more of what you want in your life. 5.

It has been delightful to find that she has ploughed the road the before me! I have felt a deep connection with Susan since the moment we met and our connection continues to be a rare meeting of heart, mind, and spirit.” -- Lisa-Marie DiVincent, Therapist and Counseling Trainer since 1983. “With Susan's assistance I learned that what I had believed were honest open attempts on my part to make requests could actually be interpreted more as demands instead. As a result, my partner would often feel guilty if he didn't comply and resentful if he did comply! No wonder his own inner turmoil and conflict caused him to withdraw and separate from me. Now I am learning to integrate both my head and my heart so that both my partner and I can feel heard and truly understood” -- Barb Hepperle M.Sc.
