What is Divorce Mediation and How Does it Work?

Divorce Mediation 

Divorce Mediation is the process of resolving conflicts between divorcing parties without the use of an attorney or the court system. Although it is highly advisable that both parties retain their own attorney, it is only for the purpose of legal advice and counsel, and not for presenting a case against one another.

Most divorcing parties undergo a tremendous amount of emotional stress and pain. This stress is translated into powerful emotions like anger and resentment, making the resolution process more difficult on everyone involved; in particular, any children of the marriage suffer greatly by the inability of their parents to resolve their many differences. In the long, drawn-out, and unresolved divorce conflicts that have become typical of our society, and in our desire to inflict the hurt we are feeling during this process upon our partners, our children tend to be forgotten.

Divorce Mediation offers couples a way to resolve their differences, without the high pressure (or price tag) of attorney involvement, thereby allowing everyone to come to terms with any emotions of anger and resentment and arrive at an agreement that is in the best interest of not only any children involved, but also one another.

Before hiring an attorney to handle your divorce matter, consider speaking with a divorce mediator first to see if there is a low-cost, low stress alternative available to you.
