How is mediation conducted?

Divorce mediation can be accomplished through a divorce mediation lawyer who acts as a neutral third party to assist the divorcing couple through the process of determining such factors as asset division and child custody. As your attorney, we can represent you and conduct negotiations with your spouse. This process is conducted in a peaceful manner with the goal of reaching an amicable and mutually beneficial resolution.

 

What is the mediation process?

The mediation process is informal but well defined. It begins with a welcome and introduction of all parties involved. The mediator will then ask for statements from all parties as an opportunity for them to tell their sides of the story. After all parties have spoken, the mediator can ask questions to clarify the statements. Separate discussions may then take place so that the mediator can propose solutions and achieve a settlement. To conclude, the mediator finds points of agreement between the parties to reach an agreement.

 

What are the advantages?

The main benefits of mediation are that it saves time, energy and money. If your mediation is successful, the formal court process can be avoided, which decreases the time spent finalizing the divorce. It is a confidential process that ensures a fair outcome to all concerned. As long as you can arrive at a resolution with your spouse without much contention, mediation can work to your advantage.
