There are considerable financial benefits to engaging in mediation before filing for either separation or divorce. Statistics show that the overall cost of such actions is decreased by roughly 1/2 to 2/3 when Mediation is utilized in advance. Again, the same applies in post separation and divorce disputes. Where the average divorce may cost couples from $10,000 to $30,000, it is easy to see why Mediation is a smart way of approaching such an action. |
|
Divorce and separation are often very contentious and emotional actions. Historically, couples engaged attorneys to "do battle" for them. These "battles" prolonged the inevitable dissolution, mourning, and healing that are necessary for a return to some semblance of normalcy and they cost the combatants considerably in terms of both emotional and financial stability and well-being. The courts have noted the toll this method imparts on the parties involved and has, for its own part, realized the overwhelming burden and cost of administrating divorce cases. Mediation has proven a remedy, in part, for these issues and has, by its own nature, created a far less adversarial process which promotes a healthier enactment of resolve. |
|
Through the Mediation process, parties create an atmopsphere of cooperative problem solving and future building out of this highly emotional act of dissolution. |
|
Mediation is a structured but informal method of reaching agreements designed by the parties themselves. Sessions are conducted by neutral, third party mediators. The conflicting parties present their points of view and the mediators actively assist them in designing an agreement that meets both sides' needs. |
|
Mediation helps the parties form a basis for future communication and cooperation regarding the raising of children, helping to insure the healthiest environments in which the children may thrive after divorce. It can also help in creating a less threatening and dark relationship for the parties throughout the separation/divorce process. Often, parties will soften to a degree and discover a calmer acceptance of the realities they face in dissolving their partnerships. |
