These days, mediation just might be the most efficient and private divorce process available. When you work with a skillful mediator or co-mediation team, negotiations between you and your spouse happen directly in the mediator’s comfortable office, away from the glare of courtroom lights. Financial and other personal information is shared and discussed between soon-to-be-exes in the complete privacy of the mediators office.
Clients have maximum control of all of the decision making and even on the costs of the process. During a mediated divorce, clients set the agenda for discussion at all mediation sessions and they also set the pace of the work, choosing to move through the process as quickly and efficiently as they are able.
The professional time you pay for during mediation is more likely to be productive time including: Time spent around the negotiation table working on issues that are important to you and your family, learning/receiving assistance on how to problem solve and negotiate outcomes in an efficient and respectful manner, outlining and breaking down issues to help you think through what is most important to you and your family. Mediators help to thoughtfully plan out the next steps, answer important questions and address concerns.
In the end, mediated divorce agreements are more likely to satisfy clients and to be adhered to in the years to come vs. other divorce processes.
