Salt Lake City Divorce Mediator Rebecca Long Okura Added To Utah Court Roster

Long Okura Attorneys at Law, a firm in Salt Lake City, UT, is proud to announce that Rebecca Long Okura has been added to the Utah Court Roster for Qualified Divorce Mediators. Utah law states that divorce mediation is mandatory and, in order to be considered a valid mediation attempt, that mediation must be provided by a qualified court rostered mediator. More details about the mediation services offered by the firm are available on the Long Okura Utah Court Rostered Mediator profile.

Rebecca Long Okura says, "As both a practicing attorney and a mediator, I believe that extensive mediation training combined with over 15 years of experience in family law litigation allows me to provide unique skills, insights and a better mediation experience for my clients."

The regulations on divorce mediation are mandated under the Utah Code 30-3-39 Mediation Program. This requirement was created to streamline the divorce process and help reduce the length of time and costs associated with litigation. The role of a mediator like Rebecca Long Okura is to help the parties come to an agreement, ideally leaving with a signed document outlining the agreed upon terms. Mediation is still valuable even when a complete agreement is not possible during the initial session, as the process helps determine which issues are easily resolved and which issues may require further negotiation or litigation.

To qualify as a member of the court roster, Rebecca Long Okura had to meet the criteria established by the Judicial Council, including many hours of training and working with a court approved mentor. There are different requirements for the Basic Court Roster and the Court Roster for Qualified Divorce Mediators. Rebecca has qualified for and been added to both rosters.
