Cost-Effective Divorce Mediation Services
When couples choose to begin the litigation process and "lawyer-up", the costs of the divorce can really become astronomical. Usually when each individual gets a divorce lawyer, the cost will end up being around $25,000+ per person. If the divorce is more complex you can expect a far higher price tag. But divorce mediation provides an affordable and cost-effective route to completing your divorce. The average mediated divorce usually comes in about $3,000 - $7,000 depending on the complexities of the case, and this price tag is split between the 2 individuals. This is precisely why many couples choose divorce mediation.
Should you both look to take the divorce to trial, the costs can quickly spiral out of control. There will be fees for hiring financial experts, child custody experts, conducting discovery, lawyer fees, court costs, etc. Before you know it the price tag is way up there and often unexpected from couples when they finally get their invoice.
Complex Divorce Issue: Child Custody
If there is a child or children involved in divorce proceedings, this is when things can become tricky. You do not want your family to stress even more from an already difficult situation, and you both as parents want the best for your child or children. It is very important that this complex child custody issue be worked out outside of the court system, with a judge making a decision as to what's best for the family. A Fair Way Mediation has handled 100s of divorce agreements when children are involved and we work very hard to minimize the stress that can come with this process, to help keep the family in tact. In fact, many couples after a divorce mediation process end up having a better relationship with each other and the kids post-divorce.
A Fair Way Mediation: La Quinta Divorce Mediator
Unlike divorce litigation where it can take 6 months to even get your first hearing in front of a judge, then another 6 months after for an outcome, divorce mediation works hard to settle your divorce efficiently and as quickly as possible, but making sure that every issue is discussed properly. There is no need to rush the process but it can be expedited by the couples ability to communicate and work out issues.
We provide individual attention to each person and WE DO NOT TAKE SIDES. While we may meet with each person privately in order to hear out each side, it is important to note that we will not take sides or provide any advice to a specific indvidual. This defeats the entire purpose of mediation. You both will not have to go to court and won't be forced to make your issues public record, everything is settled out of court and with confidentiality and privacy.
We don't want divorce to be stressful for you and strive to take out any stress as best we can to help you both move on with your lives.
