Raleigh attorney Glenn Doyle of Doyle Divorce Law has been certified by the North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission (NCDRC) as a Family Financial Mediator. This credential allows him to serve in North Carolina's court-based Family Financial Settlement Program (FFSP), providing neutral mediation services to couples navigating financial issues during divorce.
Since 2002, Doyle has worked as a Raleigh family law lawyer, representing clients in divorce, property division, support disputes, custody issues, and separation agreements. His new certification expands his ability to assist families by offering mediation services, which can help resolve financial disputes without litigation.
The FFSP addresses critical financial questions that arise during separation, such as division of the family home, retirement accounts, investment assets, shared debt, business interests, child support, and alimony. The program provides a structured setting with a neutral mediator, allowing spouses to discuss these issues with the guidance of their attorneys if represented.
NCDRC certification requires attorneys to meet rigorous standards, including a law license, at least five years of legal practice, approved Family Financial Settlement training, demonstrated knowledge of North Carolina family law, required observations, and character review. Certified mediators also agree to provide no-fee services for qualifying cases involving indigent parties.
As a Family Financial Mediator, Doyle remains neutral and does not decide settlement amounts, represent either spouse, or provide individual legal advice. Instead, he guides discussions, helps identify unresolved issues, and facilitates the exchange of information and proposals. The spouses ultimately decide whether to settle and on what terms.
This certification complements Doyle's role as a Raleigh divorce lawyer, where he provides legal advice and advocacy tailored to clients' financial circumstances. His familiarity with mediation processes enhances his ability to prepare clients for financial settlement conferences and identify issues requiring closer analysis.
Based in Raleigh, Doyle Divorce Law serves clients in Wake, Durham, Johnston, and nearby counties. For more information, visit https://doyledivorcelaw.com.
