For Rohnert Park families facing a divorce or family law matter, the default path leads to Sonoma County Superior Court—a system that is genuinely overburdened, that moves slowly, and that produces results through a process neither party controls. The alternative is mediation with Marla Keenan-Rivero, ten minutes up US-101 in downtown Santa Rosa. The same legal framework. The same final court order. But a process that is private, faster, substantially less expensive, and produces agreements that both parties actually helped design.

Rohnert Park's family law cases often involve public sector employment complexity that general mediation practices handle poorly: CALPERS pension division, SSU employment contracts, healthcare benefit valuation, and the income characterization issues that arise in long public-sector careers. Marla's 24 years in family law litigation in Sonoma County include extensive work on exactly this employment profile. She knows how courts calculate the community property share of a CALPERS pension, what DRO requirements CALPERS imposes, and how to structure agreements that address these issues with the legal precision they require.

Rohnert Park family law mediation covers property division including real estate equity and retirement accounts, custody and parenting plans, child and spousal support, and any other family law matters arising from a separation or divorce. Available at Marla's Santa Rosa office (10 minutes from Rohnert Park) or via secure video. Sessions produce a written Memorandum of Understanding; most cases complete in 2–4 sessions. All agreements are reviewed by each party's independent attorney before submission to Sonoma County Superior Court as a binding order.
