Mediation Provides an Easier Way to Resolve Disputes

In most cases, mediation is a cheaper, more efficient and less stressful way to resolve divorce and other family law disputes. Plain and simple, mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that is easier than going to court.

You want an outcome that is fair, an outcome that meets your needs. That outcome may not be available in the courtroom. In the courtroom, a judge decides how your case will be resolved. In mediation, the outcome is in your hands.

How Mediation Works

In mediation, you don't have to have an attorney. Instead, you enlist a trained mediator, a neutral party. The mediator will sit down with you and the opposing party at a time that works for you. You will then discuss the dispute and discuss the outcome that each side wants to obtain. The mediator will work to guide you both toward some form of amicable resolution, a resolution that meets your needs as well as the needs of the other side.

The Benefits of Mediation

Divorce and family law mediation comes with numerous benefits:

• Save money: Since you don't have to pay for a lawyer or for the cost of going to court, mediation is typically cheaper than the alternative.
• Save time: Since you don't have to wait for court time and you can set the schedule, mediation is typically less time consuming than the alternative.
• Avoid stress: Since you're working together with your opponent instead of fighting, mediation is typically less stressful than the alternative.
• Save a positive relationship: Perhaps the most important benefit is that mediation allows you to maintain a relationship with the opposition instead of destroy it through bitter courtroom litigation. This is extremely important when children are involved.
