Unlike using divorce lawyers, we work for both parties and DO NOT TAKE SIDES. This allows our mediation team to hear side indivdual and give them proper time to speak about their wishes and desires along with yours, this way there will be a path to the issues involved and what it will take to agree. Complex issues we can help you with include property division, child support, even pet mediation! There are a wide variety of issues and these are just a few.
We understand that divorce is a very stressful experience for couples. Both of you are ready to move on with your lives and know there are shared properties and assets that need to be divided, and this can make things very contentious, even more so when child/ren are involved. Stress will only get worse when lawyers become involved and court looms.
Mediation vs Litigation
Choices
As opposed to litigation, mediation allows you both to maintain the authority to negotiate your own decisions, NOT THE COURTS. Judges are never fully invested in your lives or how you interact with each other. A judge will base their decision on evidence, and the divorce proceedings become public record.
Relationships
A very important benefit of mediation is that it offers the opportunity to have harmony in the relationship once again within the family. In many cases divorce can get ugly and tough on the family. Divorce mediation provides a solution to allow each of you to mov eon with your lives with dignity and civility. Some relationships even become stronger once you have parted ways!
Children
This is where divorce situations really tend to get heated and emotions play a huge role in the proces, and rightly so! Neither of you want your children to stress and the mediation process can help minimize the stress on kids. Quite simply, it provides a gentler way to divorce.
Cost
As many couples will agree, litigation and lawyer fees can just be downright expensive! The average cost of a litigated divorce is about $25,000+ in fees for each person. With mediation, it is a fraction of the price, the average price of a mediation is about $3,000 - $7,000 depending on the complexities of the case.
Time
When it comes to litigation, a divorce can take lots of time. You are often subjected to waiting for the courts date to see you, and even after the first appearance it could be another 4-6 months before you are seen again. Mediation requires only a few weeks, but can last longer depending on the communication levels of you both.
