Mediation
Mediation is a structured, interactive process where an impartial third party assists disputing parties in resolving conflict through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques.
Role of a Mediator
A mediator holds no decision-making power. Their role is to guide parties away from the need for litigation and to reach an agreeable settlement on the terms of separation.
The mediator does this by facilitating communications, enabling divorce or custody parties to make voluntary informed choices, and find a mutually acceptable resolution.
Upon agreement, the mediator prepares all documents required to finalize the agreement.
Advantages
Participating in a successful mediation can save you both time and money compared to a litigated or contested divorce. The process typically leads to faster resolutions, while contested divorces and custody matters often take months to finalize if negotiation is unsuccessful.
