The best part about using a mediator is that WE DON'T TAKE SIDES.

This also creates a peaceful environment which allows you both to be heard and lay out what you need and desire to finalize the divorce in a mutually beneficial process.

Benefits of Using a 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
Divorce mediation is a fraction of the price of a traditional litigation lawyer. Divorce mediation, on average, costs around $3000 - $7000 depending on the complexity of the case and the ability of the couple to negotiate things in a peaceful manner. Whereas a traditional divorce lawyer can easily exceed $25,000+ (for each of you). Ultimately you will come to the same results just at a much cheaper price. On top of this, it can take 6 months or more to finalize a dvorce which will keep costing you money in hourly billings with a lawyer. With mediation, the divore typically is finalized in 3-5 weeks, allowing you both the ability to move on with your lives.
Avoid Court
No matter how you look at it, divorce can be a stressful process. The last thing you and your spouse want to do is battle it out in court and leave your fate to the hands of the court system. Everything in the courts is "black and white" whereas you both understand there is a lot of grey area in your marriage that needs to be worked out peacefully and the court system may not fully understand the intricacies of your marriage. On top of this, when you go to court the proceedings become public record. Divorce mediation allows for a private alternative where all you have to do is submit the final marital settlement agreement (MSA) to the courts and your information, proceedings, and discussions will remain private.
Reduced Conflict and Tension
Divorce mediation serves as an effective alternative to litigation by significantly reducing conflict and tension between separating couples. This approach promotes an environment where both parties engage in open communication facilitated by a neutral mediator. By providing a platform for constructive dialogue, mediation allows spouses to voice their concerns, negotiate terms, and arrive at mutually beneficial agreements regarding important aspects like asset division, child custody, and support. Unlike the adversarial nature of court proceedings, mediation prioritizes collaboration and compromise, which often leads to better resolutions.
