Why Mediate? The Benefits of Divorce Mediation

Everyone knows how brutal the divorce process can be for husbands, wives, and their children. Movies, books, and the news media are rife with stories about bitter legal battles between divorcing couples, portraying the resentment, fear, revenge, and jealousy that can arise. For many couples, being together in the same room following the breakup of their marriage will result in hot disputes, screaming matches, and frustration.

Divorce can be one of the most difficult and traumatic events of your life. It doesn't have to become a battlefield, however. By reining in your hostility and desire to get even for past hurts, you can get through the divorce process with less stress, less financial repercussions, less time and aggravation, all while protecting your children from bitter litigation. Your first option in divorce can be mediation, where you and your spouse sit down with the help of a neutral party to problem-solve your way to a divorce agreement.

What are the benefits? You'll save money because you are avoiding the expense of courtroom litigation. You'll be in control, instead of a judge. You'll be making decisions in a private setting instead of a public courtroom. Mediation is faster because you aren't subject to court schedules. It's also more convenient. You won't be looking for a parking place in a crowded court parking structure. Probably the biggest benefit is the sane, more harmonious approach to the process of dissolving your marriage, saving you and your children the heavy emotional toll of a courtroom battle.
