Benefits of Using a Poway Divorce Mediator
As many couples who have used mediation can attest, there are a wide variety of benefits to going the mediation route as opposed to litigation.
Cost of the Divorce
This is one of the primary reasons that couples choose divorce mediation. When you go the litigation route and each get your own lawyer, the costs can easily exceed $20,000+ for each person. In most cases you are billed hourly so each and every email, call and meeting is billable hours, these can add up quickly. With a divorce mediator, the average cost of a divorce is $3000 - $7000 (split between the couple). Ultimately what couples find is that when they go the mediation route, not only do they save money, but in almost every case the same result is obtained, but at a fraction of the price.
Avoid Court
As if a divorce wasn't stressful enough, court can make it even more stressful. Leaving the outcome of your future in a judge's hands can be difficult to accept. Judges don't know all the ins and outs of your marriage and are basing an opinion on what lawyers are presenting. With divorce mediation, you don't go to court. The issues are settled on your own terms and once completed, the MSA (marital settlement agreement) is submitted to the courts for completion. When you go to a court, your divorce becomes public record, with mediation the final outcome and the details remain private.
