What is Divorce Mediation?

Divorce mediation is an alternative to fighting in court with your spouse through attorneys. Mediation has numerous benefits, namely you remain out of Court, you are given the opportunity to consider options of settlement and custody and craft your own settlement.

Instead of court, parties who decide to use mediation work with a neutral third party mediator to negotiate issues concerning child custody and support, spousal support, and division of assets and debts. The mediator will help you to resolve issues through a process in which they will:

  • Identify the needs of each party and the children;
  • Make decisions about the division of assets and support issues;
  • Explore what each party wants from the divorce;
  • Consider various alternative solutions to Court ordered solutions of the splitting of assets and support.
  • Resolve your concerns regarding the issues of custody, property division, support and all other issues of your divorce;
  • Assist you and your spouse in reaching an agreement that both parties are satisfied with.
