When two people are considering divorce, they face many difficult decisions. A Divorce mediation lawyer guides couples through the complexities of divorce, assisting, facilitating, and encouraging parties to reach a mutual agreement. A mediator is a neutral third party who helps negotiate an agreement between you and your spouse with a more private, less expensive, and consensual approach.
Mediation is widely used and well known for the higher satisfaction levels it provides in delivering a fair and agreeable divorce settlement, unlike divorce litigation, for which you’d need divorce and family attorneys.
What are the benefits?
Mediation humanizes a dispute in a way that an adversarial process, such as litigation, cannot. Some of the additional benefits include:
- A divorce process that fosters an environment of respect and trust
- Maintenance of dignity throughout the process
- Preservation of a working relationship between both parties
- More flexibility and confidentiality
- Less time and money
- Open and free exchange of information between both parties
- Overall satisfaction with the solutions because they are mutually agreed upon
- Better follow through and compliance with terms of the court order
- Less stress and tension for the children if involved
