Why Mediation? |
|
Mediation is cost-effective. Both people share the cost equally. It avoids expensive litigation. The Mediation Agreement can easily be combined with necessary documents to complete the legal divorce process or settle custody and parenting time disputes.
Mediation is less stressful for children. Children know their parents are working together to make decisions and avoid putting them in the middle.
Mediation is confidential. What happens in mediation cannot be used in court. It allows people to explore settlement ideas and financial and parenting plans over time without being pressured by court dates.
Mediation promotes communication. Parents learn effective ways to resolve future problems cooperatively.
Mediation focuses on the future. Parents need to continue to be good parents to their children. They need to make informed decisions about their finances and preserve their own financial stability. Parents are capable of developing their own idea of fairness to create solutions.
Mediation is also available to resolve problems after the divorce is final. |
