Why Choose Divorce Mediation?

Less Money

Going through a contested divorce can be costly. Both parties need to hire expensive lawyers and can wind up spending tens of thousands of dollars on hourly fees. If you and your spouse are looking to resolve your differences amicably, there is a more cost effective way. Divorce mediation can often save you tons of money. The cost of a divorce mediation is usually a fraction of the cost of a typical divorce.

Less Time

In a typical divorce, the couple is forced to abide by the courts timetable. As a result, a litigated divorce can take, on average, 9 months to 2 years. Many would prefer the process to move quickly, so that they can move forward with their lives. When going through divorce mediation the time it takes for your divorce to resolve is entirely up to you. You schedule your own sessions, and we will help you move through the process at a pace that best suits you.

Less Stress

Divorce is stressful. Divorce mediation can reduce that anxiety. By skipping the lawyers and court processes, you can reduce the emotional toll of a divorce while still having the legal guidance to settle every issue involved with your divorce. It’s important to note that you and your spouse don’t have to be in agreement over every aspect of your divorce. What is most important is the desire to work amicably with your spouse. We can guide you through the rest.

Is mediation legally binding?

Agreements reached in mediation can be made legally binding once they are formalized in a written document and approved by the court.

Can we use our own lawyers during mediation?

Yes, both parties can consult with their attorneys during the mediation process to ensure their interests are fully represented. However, in most cases, this is not necessary as mediation is a process about both parties being in agreement on divorce matters in an uncontested manner.

What happens if we can't reach an agreement?
