I always thought lawyers were the first ones to call in case of a divorce. But a friend of mine told me about mediation. I wasnt so sure. I called this place and talked to Mike. He was really helpful. He helped me understand how the entire process worked. He assured me that everything was going to be fair and I didnt have to agree unless I thought it was fair. Our kids are about out of college and he helped us figure out how we would finish them up financially. I thought the alimony amount we agreed to was also very fair. My wife was upset with me and told me she would take me to the cleaners, but it ended up being very fair. Cant say enough good things about them.

I was not so sure about mediation at first because I didnt really know much about it. When I called this company, they spent a lot of time with me and my wife (we were on speaker together) and he explained everything in detail. We have three kids 15, 12 an 9. And the stuff we went through in the mediation made us feel really good about the whole thing. They did a great job and they really listened to us and what we wanted to do. Me and my wife hate that the divorce had to happen, but this was a really good way to do it. We didnt even need lawyers! Great job!!

As a marriage therapist in Charlotte, NC, I have heard and seen how helpful Carolina Divorce Mediators can be for couples over the past 11 years. They have been a wonderful resource to help couples separate in a respectful, reasonable and collaborative way. Scott and Mike are able to help couples think through and construct a plan that will meet the needs of both spouses and their children. Their empathy for what the family is journeying through creates a lens for the process that protects relationships between parents and children and offers the hope of considerate co-parenting moving forward. They also are able to help paint a picture of other issues that may arise in the future, and then map out a strategy to navigate it. In their thoughtfulness and thoroughness, they help couples to create a plan that is fair and livable.They also help couples to successfully navigate a temporary separation that allows the couple to work through tough issues and recover the marriage. Scott and Mike do a thorough assessment with each couple to understand their needs and what they hope to achieve. Through this process, they are well equipped to help couples to traverse unknown waters successfully. I highly recommend them!

This place did a great job in helping us. Me and my wife could not get along or talk about anything without us getting into an argument. We knew we wanted to be good parents and they sure helped us do an agreement that we could both live with! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I will tell all of my friends about you!

Carolina Divorce Mediators did a great job in helping us. We got more accomplished in 4 hours than we did with attorneys in 7 1/2 months. As much as my husband and I struggle with talking, they really got us to communicate. Thank God, no more money to my attorney!

I have known Scott Hardy for over 10 years and know him to be a caring, compassionate, attentive, and fair mediator. He has helped a very close friend of mine through a divorce and achieved some great results. Divorce is hard enough, but having the right mediator makes it much easier. I wholeheartedly endorse Scott and his staff and have every confidence that he would do a great job for anyone.

I was given back my friend! We decided to get married, because youre supposed to marry your best friend, right? It was the wrong answer for us, and it about killed a 20+ year friendship. Thanks to Scott Hardy, and his experience as a mediator, we got through an extremely difficult time. Our friendship is just as strong as it ever was. I cannot thank you enough!

Scott was instrumental in helping my ex-wife and I put a frame work around our separation agreement. That was five years ago, and the structure and language of the agreement has stood the test of time! When a recent question came up about a provision, Scott called me back within an hour to help me clarify and even followed up with an email with a note from the original meetings. Great professional service and communication.

As a therapist, there are times when Ive needed to help a client walk through the separation or divorce period, and Ive always felt confident in recommending Scott or Mike for that process. They have a very systematic and professional demeanor when helping clients. I would highly recommend Carolinas Divorce Mediators.

I have been so happy with the work that Scott and Mike have done with the clients I referred to them. They are experienced mediators, have a great way of handling the messy issues involved in separation and divorce, and are just nice guys! I have called Scott over the years for advice for myself as a therapist with difficult couples I give them a strong recommendation!

Our mediation appointment with Michael and Scott at the Southpark location allowed us to move in a better direction than we were previously going. They helped us tremendously to resolve conflicts and come to an agreement that would be best for our family in the short and long term. I highly recommend this company and their staff as a whole.

Piedmont Mediation Center often refers to CDM for divorce mediation services. We have trusted them with our clients for many years, and have never been disappointed. Their professionalism and quality of care is exemplary.

We have been working with Carolina Divorce Mediators for several years. We have referred several clients and got positive feedback in regards to the challenging work that they do. They are very professional and I would highly recommend them.

Thank you for assisting us in this very personal and emotional time in our lives. I can now say with absolute certainty that divorcing someone after many years of marriage for whatever reason is not easy to do; however, your guidance was a tremendous help in getting us to where we needed to be.

5 years ago I sought the services of S.Hardy, an extremely emotional time obviously, and I did not have the complete power of thought about me to securely help me thru the process. After the MSA was filed all ran well for a couple of years until my “x” pulled a disappointing move which lead to both of us engaging separate lawyers. I could have challenged the event in court but because the MSA was poorly written (opinion given to me) the risk of losing was high, and court costs would have been a very hard hit for me. It also became clear and evident that there was no fail safe built into the MSA in the event I lost my job, or forced to take a job with lessor pay, or succumbing to a medical condition that might have prevented me from working for an extended period of time (this has been an enormous worry for me). Another zinger is that I have been told that I am paying a prolonged amount of child support, at the time I remember asking Hardy what the State min is (to ensure that I at least met that), he avoided the question. I read the other reviews, obviously his services worked in those cases, but definitely not for me. My advice before you sign/file the final MSA would be to have an independent lawyer look it over, understand your rights and determine that the MSA is not just fair to you, but protects you too. I hope this helps !

Terrible experience. misrepresented themselves.and I was most definitely a client Mr Hardy. I complained to you when i found myself in dire straights because of the agreement you wrote and your response was ‘I don’t know what to say. I told you to contact an attorney and accountant’ . this was after telling us during the mediation that he was required by law to tell us to contact an attorney, while also telling us immediately afterwards that he had done 100’s of mediations and knew what was needed. And if you have tried to contact me you have done a piss poor job doing that as well.
