Private and Confidential
Moving Through the Process on Your Terms
In the courtroom, you can often feel like a spectator. Once you hire legal representation, they take control. They may even tell you to halt all communications concerning the divorce with your spouse. This can lead to miscommunication that takes additional time to resolve. Miscommunications can lead to conflicts escalating, making the whole process feel impossible.
In mediation, nothing gets lost in translation. You’ll always know exactly what your partner is trying to say and vice versa. Even in high-conflict situations, mediation can be highly effective. The goal of mediation is to provide focused problem-solving to establish possible common ground. Working from there often leads to beneficial agreements that could take much longer to reach in court.
Less Time, Lower Conflict
Avoiding the Courtroom
When you choose mediation, you never have to worry about stepping foot in a courtroom. The courtroom provides a different atmosphere than mediation. In a courtroom, you are physically separated from one another, and you rely on your legal representation to speak for you. This often causes feelings of discouragement, as if you’ve already lost. This is often because you know a judge is going to decide your future. This unease can cause disagreements to quickly escalate, adding more tension to the situation. When you don’t go to court, you save more financially, you experience less stress, and it takes less time to reach agreements.
In mediation, your mediator is there to act as a guide. They are not there to weigh in or to make decisions for you. Your mediator helps to keep the process moving to settle all of the issues a judge would. This includes child support, childcare plans, and your division of assets and debts. While these topics can still be stressful and cause conflict, it is in a controlled situation where your voice is heard throughout. This allows for agreements that are unique to your situation. This often means both sides can walk away feeling satisfied with the decisions reached.
Choose a healthier divorce process
Easier on the Children
Emotions can be high during the divorce process. In mediation, you’re able to work through those emotions on the spot. In the courtroom, this often isn’t the case. This can lead to building animosity between parents that can be felt by their children. Battles can be avoided when choosing mediation. You’ll use respectful communication to discuss all parenting issues and reach agreements on custody, support, and other important factors. This keeps the power in your hands, and not that of a judge.
Mediation provides a way to truly keep the focus on the best interest of your kids. You’ll be able to customize your agreement, ensuring you are both happy with the terms. Working together through the divorce process can help build a better co-parenting relationship for the future as well.
