Benefits of Divorce Mediation

Divorce mediation is a common way to negotiate an out-of-court settlement between you and your spouse. In divorce mediation, you and your soon to be ex-spouse hire a neutral third party known as a mediator. The purpose of mediation is to help both of you identify and resolve divorce issues. Divorce mediation can be used to address a wide range of topics including but not limited to parenting plans, child support, custody arrangements, and division of assets.

The benefits of divorce mediation include:

• Fast Process. Divorce mediation is typically a faster process due to easy scheduling ability and not having to wait for court dates.
• Private and confidential. Keeps your personal affairs private and confidential between you, your spouse, and mediator.
• Costs less. There is only one mediator to work with versus hiring lawyers for each spouse keeping the costs down.
• Better co-parenting. Less fighting in court will benefit your children.
• You control the process. You and your spouse make all of the decisions versus placing them in the hands of a judge. According to Divorce Mag, “Increased control over the divorce process: Allows the parties to maintain control of the divorce settlement in terms of the process and the outcome.”
• Create your own solution. You have a better chance of receiving a fair agreement when you create you and your spouse create your own solutions.
• More efficient. Divorce mediation is more efficient, but it doesn’t require you to go to court. This puts the schedule in your hands. This can help you achieve a settlement more quickly.
• Litigation options. If divorce mediation is unsuccessful you can still litigate your divorce in court.
• Preserve relationships. It helps to preserve a better relationship between you and your spouse after mediation. According to Cadivorce.com, “Divorce mediation helps preserve a good relationship with your spouse and reduces the tension for the sake of your children.”
• Shared cost. Spouses share the cost of divorce mediation.
• No going to court. Keeps your divorce out of court and private.
• Don’t need an attorney. Divorce mediation does not require you to have an attorney to represent you.
• Online options. Online divorce mediation is a new way to negotiate and compromise a marital settlement agreement in a divorce case.
