Divorce Mediation.

It does seem like it is new, divorce mediation, but sometimes people need the extra help; if you’re fighting and upset with each other, a divorce mediator can be just what a divorcing couple need, so what are some of the great things about divorce mediation?  Here is a few in the list. 
  1. The first thing is that a mediator can help act as a closer…so what does that mean?  It helps the people in the divorce come to a close on certain things, instead of letting things drag on, they can help *CLOSE* an argument, by giving you the best way to accomplish things.
  2. A divorce mediator should always be neutral between the couple divorcing, not taking sides within an argument but finding ways for you both to resolve things.
  3. A divorce mediator is only voluntary, which means the mediation can end as soon as the parties want it.
  4. Being able to share your stories and information out with each other during mediation allows you to accomplish things, during a mediation a divorce mediator can point out things each person should know about one another to help.
  5. When a divorce mediator is used it helps resolve 50-80% of all cases.  Without a divorce mediator, things would have dragged on, or couples still fighting over things years after.  And remember you can always bring your lawyer to mediation.
Note: we know from years of divorce mediation that couples are more like to be satisfied with the results of a mediation process.  They spend less money and time arguing, and are less likely in the future to go back to court to fight about things they did not receive or get from the divorce. So what is the most important thing about divorce mediation?  Well it helps keep things, along with you and your ex in control of the divorce.  It helps you move on with your life, with less conflict. I would recommend if your divorce is unexpected and you both do not agree with things that mediation is the best process; yes it is also good to have if it is a mutual split also, but if the divorce is not wanted by one of the parties, things could get extremely ugly, or if you have lots of debt and property to settle.  Mediation can save a lot of arguments and help settle things faster.
