Is Mediation Right For You?

What is mediation? Mediation is a voluntary process in which a NEUTRAL third party, known as a mediator, assists individuals to reach a mutually agreeable resolution. The mediator's role is to facilitate negotiations rather than to make decisions or take sides. The Mediator focuses on assisting the parties to come to a mutually agreeable resolution that is a win-win for both parties. This process can save you time, money, and stress. Mediation is an excellent tool to simplify your divorce process and avoid some of the more frustrating, expensive, and time-consuming aspects of a typical divorce (such as hearings and Trials).

Is mediation right for you?

Mediation may not be the right choice for every divorcing couple, but it can be an excellent tool for those who are likely to reach agreements with the help of a mediator. Keep in mind, if you go to Trial, a Judge is making all of the decisions for you and often times, neither party ends up getting what they wanted. Wouldn’t you rather be in control of the outcome that will affect you and your children’s lives?
