What Is Divorce Mediation?
Divorce mediation is about you and spouse deciding the terms of your divorce and what is best for the both of you and your children.
In mediation, you and your spouse are guided through the every financial and parenting decision you need to make and working through issues you can end your marriage as amicably and cost effective as possible. Divorce mediation is a way of building your divorce settlement without lawyers or a judges making decisions for you.
Benefits of Divorce Mediation
It is lower cost than using attorneys…by a lot usually. The average divorce using an attorney widely varies but on th e low end can cost $10,0000 - $15,000, and on the high end over $100,000. Our average mediation cost is around $2,500 - $3,500.
You are in control of all decisions, not a judge, or your attorneys. As long as your settlement complies with the rules set by your state (i.e. Fair and equitable asset division, appropriate child/spousal support etc…) you decide what is best for you and your family.
You set at your own pace. You are on your own schedule not your attorney’s, or the court calendar. You can take it as fast or as slow as works for you.
Your agreement is customized to your needs. If you work with the right firm you can be sure to see in advance all available options that make financial sense for you.
