How does divorce mediation differ from going to court?
Divorce litigation is an adversarial process whereby the parties utilize attorneys who advocate as best they can for their client, which often results in negative encounters between the opposing sides. Divorce attorneys exchange information through discovery, which is the method used in the litigated cases. The information is exchanged through interrogatories, which are a series of written questions answered by the opposing party under oath. Documents must be presented, such as three to five years worth of credit card statements, tax returns, and bank statements, to name a few.
