Mediation May Be an Option for You
Mediation is an increasingly common method for resolving contested issues in divorce cases. I am a trained mediator and can help you resolve your family law matter more amicably, either as your mediator or as your divorce lawyer.
Why is mediation a better way to manage your divorce or resolve family disputes? Many couples find that mediation achieves more satisfactory results with fewer hard feelings, achieves the goal faster and saves a great deal of money compared to the cost of going to court. If you are able to reach agreement on all of the issues in your divorce, you can seek an uncontested divorce. Even if you come to an agreement on just some of your issues, you can save yourself a lot of time, money and hassle.
Some divorcing parents find that the process of mediation actually helps them to learn to communicate better and build a stronger long-term working relationship for their children's sake. Mediation limits the adversarial nature of divorce and helps people move forward. It empowers people to reach agreements that work for their unique family needs.
What if mediation doesn't work? You can always go to divorce court, but if you have tried mediation first, you will probably have found some areas of agreement. You will be one step closer to a resolution.
