Mediation for Divorce

Divorce mediation helps both parties to identify and negotiate the issues raised due to a divorce. The mediator facilitates the conversation by establishing ground rules and a relaxing environment so that the parties may discuss emotionally charged issues. The mediator then helps both parties gather the necessary information, offering more creative solutions than a court generally would. When the parents make parenting agreements or financial distribution plans, there are much better chances of meeting the family's needs. 

Mediated divorces consume much less time, have a higher rate of long-term parental cooperation, and have reduced costs than full-blown litigation. The mediator remains neutral between the spouses and doesn't give out any advice to either party as well. They cannot act as a lawyer to either party; however, they may provide information regarding the legal system. The mediator helps both parties in decision-making and exchange of information so that both spouses negotiate in confidence. The mediator may refer the parties to a third-party expert for services whenever required.
