What is Divorce Mediation?

What is Divorce Mediation?
Mediation is voluntary and requires participation by both the husband and the wife. You do not have to be in agreement on any or all issues, but you do need to possess a good faith willingness to attempt to reach a settlement.

Mediation allows divorcing couples to discuss and decide how they will split financial assets rather than allowing a judge to do so. The couple will share the cost of mediation rather than each paying their own attorney. This process is conciliatory rather than adversarial.

What are the advantages of Divorce Mediation?
While the primary goal of mediation is to resolve differences, mediation also:

  • Promotes communication and cooperation
  • Gives you control of the decisions that affect your life
  • Is typically less costly than litigation
  • Benefits children and others by reducing conflict
  • Is confidential, avoiding public disclosure of personal problems, and
  • Can be completed in less time than litigation, so you can move ahead with your life

"Our task now is not to fix blame for the past,
but to fix the course for the future."
- John F. Kennedy
