Using mediation for divorce allows couples to settle their differences like adults rather than fighting like children while avoiding litigation in court. There are many divorce mediation benefits. Here are just a few... Peaceful: Just because a couple has made the decision to end their marriage doesn't mean their divorce has to become a war. Divorce mediators help the parties attack problems, not each other - focusing on respectful dialog and finding agreement and solutions that benefit both spouses and their family. Enabling couples to have a peaceful and amicable divorce. Fair and Equitable: The terms of the divorce settlement are fair because they are reached and agreed to by both spouses. One spouse cannot "win" at the expense of the other as resolutions must emerge from the mediation process with a fair divorce settlement created and acceptable to both parties. Less Expensive: Divorce mediation costs a fraction of a lawyer-driven divorce. Better for Your Children: Children aren’t caught in the middle of a confrontational litigated divorce. Instead, parents work together to resolve the issues with the children’s best interests in mind. A non-adversarial approach fosters more agreement, better parenting plans, and a better co-parenting relationship. Better for Results: Couples who mediate are more satisfied with the results. And child and spousal support payments are more likely to be paid because they were mutually agreed upon. Dignified: Instead of the cold, traditional divorce process through the courts where a couple is treated like a case file or docket number, mediation is a kinder, more human process. Divorce mediators enable the parties to end their marriage while maintaining self-respect and dignity. Private and Confidential: In litigated divorces, everything submitted to the family law court is part of the public record, whereas, in a mediation session, everything is private and confidential. No one will know what's being discussed except the two spouses and his or her divorce mediator. Faster: The pace of the process is controlled by the parties, instead of being at the mercy of lawyers' or a judge's schedule. Regardless of whether you’re the initiator of the proceedings or a reluctant spouse, you have a choice in which path forward you take.
