Divorce Mediation

Mediation comes with three major advantages. However, to reap the benefits of divorce mediation, the process must be led by an attorney who has the experience and qualifications to successfully mediate a divorce. With the proper guidance, you and your spouse can experience each benefit:

• Cost Savings: A successfully mediated divorce can be much less expensive than a litigated one.
• Time Savings: Because mediation does away with the need for the court’s involvement, you do not have to wait for the courts to process your paperwork, open court dates or other time-consuming processes associated with litigation.
• Control: Mediation allows couples to maintain control over their divorce, as they can compromise and come to decisions that work for both parties. Parties who settle their divorces through litigation often find that judges take an all or nothing approach, which results in dissatisfaction with the outcomes.

If you and your spouse are still on okay terms, it would be worth your while to attempt divorce mediation before you go the litigated route.
