With divorce mediation, the couple reaches an agreement with the help of a mediator instead of having separate lawyers negotiate a settlement for them. Although the issues of divorce are tough, the couple knows what will work for them. The divorce mediator guides them through the process, provides them with information, helps them explore their options and understand the consequences of different decisions. In divorce mediation, couples reach agreement on custody, parenting, child support, division of assets and liabilities, and more. The issues in divorce are often tough and emotional but instead of the formal, and intimidating environment of the divorce court, the couple work through their problems in an informal and private place. Instead of letting the divorce judge (who does not know them) make decisions about their lives, they retain control, and make their own decisions
 

Divorce mediation is much less costly than litigation.

 

People believe that only a "friendly" divorce can be handled in mediation. This is not true. Angry and conflictual couples need mediation more than friendly couples, especially if they have children.

Litigation will exacerbate and escalate their tense relationship, hurting them and their children even more. Conflicted couples can derive the greatest benefit from mediation.

The process can take a much shorter time.
The divorce mediation process is collaborative, despite all.
The couple retains control; you make the decisions.
Divorce mediation is the best way for the children.
The whole experience is less traumatic for all concerned.
