What is Divorce Mediation?

Even in a divorce, the process does not always have to result in a huge fight. For many couples, divorce mediation is an ideal alternative as opposed to battling it out in court. A divorce mediation involves you and your spouse, along with a trained and neutral mediator who is there to help you resolve your divorce. Mediations generally take place in an informal office setting; however, some mediations may be resolved online depending on certain circumstances.

A mediator’s job is to help you and your spouse come to an agreement and resolve the many issues that may be involved in your case, including child custody, child support, alimony, and property division. Divorce mediation is often a preferred alternative to divorce handled in court, as it allows the two spouses to control the outcome of the divorce. Additionally, mediation is much less expensive than going to court. Mediation usually consists of several joint meetings between the spouses and mediation, which lasts several hours each; however, takes much less time than going to court.

If you are facing a divorce and you and your spouse are considering divorce mediation, it is important to work with a skilled mediator who can help you and your spouse reach a resolution. A mediator is there to help facilitate discussion, assist in communication, and provide helpful information and suggestions.
