Reasons to Mediate your Divorce
Certainty and Control: Unlike a judge or an arbitrator, a divorce mediator does not decide the outcome. Divorce mediation empowers the parties to reach an agreement that meets their specific needs. The parties control the outcome and the divorce mediator works at your pace.
Cost Effective: Divorce mediation will generally save you money. It's a lower cost option. Hourly mediation rates are less than paying two divorce attorneys. Payments are more manageable since divorce mediation sessions are due and payable at the conclusion of each session. An attorney generally requires a large retainer (lump sum amount) at the inception of a case. Your ultimate cost is driven by the complexity of your matter and the pace at which you work.
Positive and Peaceful: This is a non-adversarial approach. Each person will have opportunities to express their concerns and goals.
Save Time: You are not at the mercy of the overburdened court system for case planning conferences, pre-trial conferences and hearings. In most cases, you can streamline your divorce and finalize it quicker through mediation.
Confidential: Court proceedings are public and most of your court file is available for public inspection. Divorce mediation allows for more privacy.
Personal: Your divorce mediator will get to know you very well which results in more detailed and satisfying settlement agreements and co-parenting plans. Judges do not have the time to provide such personalized attention to each case.
"Throughout the process, Judy was able to listen to our concerns, answer my questions and get us to think about long term consequences of what we were doing. Most importantly, she genuinely cared about us and our sons."
