About Michael
Michael Aurit practices law in the area of divorce mediation. He works from The Aurit Center for Divorce Mediation, where he helps separating couples try to resolve financial and parenting issues outside of court. He is known in his community for an approach that prizes clarity and practical problem solving. His work typically involves careful listening, frank conversation, and managing the logistics that make agreements enforceable.
Aurit's career centers on dispute resolution rather than litigation. Rather than taking contested matters to trial, he guides clients through a structured process aimed at settling the most difficult parts of separation: dividing assets, setting parenting plans, and arranging support. He has handled a range of cases, from relatively simple uncontested divorces to more complex situations that involve business interests, retirement accounts, or significant parental relocation questions.
He maintains professional memberships and participates in the ongoing professional development that such groups offer. That participation keeps him current on changes in family law and mediation practice. His day-to-day work requires both legal knowledge and an ability to manage emotions and expectations. He encourages clients to prepare documentation early and to consider long-term consequences when evaluating settlement options.
The Aurit Center for Divorce Mediation serves as the base for his practice. Sessions there combine legal discussion with practical planning. Parties can meet jointly, work in separate rooms and consult through shuttle mediation, or pursue a hybrid path that mixes in-person and virtual meetings. The process can include drafting memoranda of understanding, reviewing financial disclosure, and preparing settlement agreements that are later converted into court filings if the parties choose.
Clients describe his role as a mediator rather than an advocate for one side. He aims to create an environment where frank trade-offs are possible. He also works with financial neutral experts when cases involve complicated valuations. As of 2026 he continues to practice at The Aurit Center for Divorce Mediation, where his caseload focuses on divorce mediation, parenting plans, and financial settlement work.
