Is divorce mediation in Oklahoma City only an option for couples who are fighting over their separation?
Not at all. It is useful for all couples working out a separation. The word mediation simply means that you and your spouse agree to sit down and talk over issues that are causing contention in your separation—in the presence of a neutral third party. That third party then makes a binding condition on the divorce stipulations, with the understanding that there is recourse to disagree with the decision. When both parties reach an agreement about all of the outstanding issues, a formal, written agreement is prepared for their signatures. This signed agreement will not only be binding as a legal contract, but will also be accepted by the courts should the couple later wish to finalize a divorce.
