What is Divoce Mediation?

Mediation is the way to work out a fair, legally enforceable settlement, while keeping your divorce from becoming a bitter, endless, expensive war. A neutral mediator, trained to work out disagreements and reduce conflicts, will help you and your spouse to reach a divorce settlement covering assets and liabilities division, spousal support as well as child and parenting issues. Contrary to what many people believe, mediation is not just for “friendly” divorces. Most divorcing couples experience extreme emotional distress: a trained mediator helps them focus on their common goals of protecting their children and avoiding emotionally and financially draining legal battles.
 

How does mediation help you solve your divorce dilema?

• Allows you to maintain control over the decision making process and assures an outcome that is tailored to your needs and your family.
• Allows you to be active participants in reaching an agreement while maintaining dignity and mutual respect.
• Removes you from an adversarial arena of judges and courts.
• Reduces the likelihood of post-divorce conflict because the parties are far more likely to comply with their agreements.
• Is faster than litigation and allows participants to get on with their lives.
• Is less expensive than litigation and leaves participants with a greater degree of satisfaction.
• The process is confidential and private. No pressure to settle on the courthouse steps.
• Helps children by reducing tension and hostility between parents both during and after divorce.
