WHY “mediation” is the right choice for your divorce ...
Divorce mediation gives both parties ultimate control over the outcome of their dispute—often saving you thousands of dollars in fees & countless hours in court
You discuss your case within the privacy of my office and not in public court house with dozens of other cases waiting to be heard.
You scheduled the time you are available to negotiate, not the court.
You pay the mediator per visit and you don’t pay a retainer (a lump sum).
You are likely to resolve your difference sooner by getting the private personalized attention your case needs and deserves.
If you have children, this process reduces the trauma to the children by focusing on their needs and not involving the court or court personnel.
MEDIATION is a voluntary process that allows couples the opportunity to discover their own solutions to problems in their relationship and reach a mutually agreeable settlement on the matters that are most important to them. Divorce or separation is a very difficult issue to face in one's life. MEDIATION offers the parties an alternative that transforms them from being adversaries in a law suit, to become cooperative problem solvers and charting the path for your life after divorce or separation.
MEDIATION is control.
It is control over your finances, time, assets, and most importantly your future. Instead of
the traditional adversarial process (two parties through their attorneys digging into their
positions before a judge in a court room) it is an alternative where two people can discuss
the issues, one on one, with a mediator, and privately resolve their disagreements civilly. If
are reading this because you are contemplating, or in the process of, a divorce, custody
dispute, separation or some life changing event that will eventually require the involvement
of the legal system, don't you agree that civilly resolving your disputes is a much
better approach.
MEDIATION takes place outside of the court and is designed for the individuals, who know best about their lives and want the control over the important decision that are about change their lives.
Your mediator will be a neutral person whose sole purpose is to guide the parties to agreement on every issue.
He or she does not represent either party and cannot. The mediator will provide the road map and the parties choose the destination and how they will get there. This process is confidential and cannot be used against either party should they decide not to complete the process. The mediator cannot give legal advice to either party. However, choosing an experienced mediator who is knowledgeable is critical to the process.
There are very few cases that can't be mediated. Most cases in the courts, perhaps 80 to 90 percent, settle before trial. Experience shows that once the parties are serious about settling and start talking face to face, the case can be resolved. The goal of mediation is to talk face to face from the start and then move toward settlement sooner rather than later. There is of course the added bonus of saving time, money and respect for one another. There are always exceptions to the rule and some cases are not good case to mediation due to an abusive situation or the parties simply want to fight and prolong the agony. However, it is more likely than not that MEDIATION is right for you.
MEDIATION also allows the parties to control the cost of the process. A successful mediation reduces the cost, and the fees are totally controlled by the parties. If you are able to resolve all your issues in a few sessions, which are generally one and half to two hours long, then the process is over and the fees stop. Some case are more complex and require more time, you will pay the mediator for the session you use.
Your children benefit from MEDIATION. Voluntarily mediating your case is mature way to demonstrate to your child or children the best way to resolve disagreements or disputes is to talk about them. This process is less stressful on you, and, therefore, it will be less stressful on them.
An agreement that you make through this process that is mutually acceptable is more likely to last in the long run, and be followed by both parties, than any orders a judge makes after a trial that neither of you might be happy with.
