The Benefits of Divorce Mediation
If you are contemplating a divorce or are in a period of separation, it can be a scary time in your life. There are many uncertainties: what about the kids? who gets the house or car? how will I be able to live? how does all of this work? In the past, it has been the case that a divorcing couple would each seek a lawyer, and go out to battle. A long, expensive, painful battle. It does not have to be this way. Many divorcing couples these days use mediation as a dignified, reasonable and affordable way to divorce, without war and disaster. So what is mediation, actually? Mediation is the process in which a trained neutral person, called a mediator, facilitates the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties. Mediation is non-adversarial with the objective of helping the parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. There are many advantages in using mediation in place of the legal proceedings where the parties become adversaries.
