Divorce Mediation
Divorce Mediation presents another option for couples wanting a divorce or separation. If you cannot reach an agreement on all the legal issues on your own, you want to resolve your differences amicably, and you do not want a judge to make your decisions for you; you have the option of hiring an impartial divorce mediator to assist in reaching a fair and equitable agreement. It is important for you to know that a divorce mediator is truly an independent third party and does not individually represent either spouse.
The divorce mediator assists you in reaching your own agreement by creating a cooperative environment where you work together to reach an agreement on the terms of your divorce or separation.
Divorce Mediation only works if the couple does the following:
- Participates in the process freely and voluntarily
- Makes full and complete financial disclosure
- Believes with confidence that they have or will receive full financial disclosure from the other spouse
- Makes a good faith effort to reach an agreement
Although there are many benefits to having reached an agreement through divorce mediation, the following is a list of some of the benefits of using divorce mediation for your divorce or separation:
- Significant cost savings
- Less adversarial
- Divorce Mediation insures that you are fully informed about your legal and financial options and the consequences of each decision
- Achieve settlement in less time and with less stress and animosity than with a litigated divorce
- Couples retain greater control over their decisions
- Less painful experience for the couple and any children involved since the emotional turmoil of a litigated divorce is avoided
