What are the benefits and goals of mediation?
• Mediation takes less time so you can move on with your life; • Mediation is less expensive, and leads to greater satisfaction than Court proceedings; • Mediation allows you to control the decisions that affect your life; • Mediation benefits your children and others involved by reducing conflict; • Mediation avoids public disclosure of financial and personal matters because it is confidential. The mediator will help the parties reach an agreement that is based on a full and complete disclosure of all relevant data. The mediator will help to ensure that the parties understand the information presented and the choices with which they are confronted so that each party can make intelligent informed decisions based on the relevant facts.
