Why Mediation?
Mediation is non-adversarial – legal battles are not part of the process.
The cost of mediation is reasonable, much less than a divorce driven by opposing attorneys and the courts.
In mediation, the couple makes their own choices affecting their lives and the lives of their children.
The mediation process encourages communication and cooperation, which helps set the stage for better relationships post-divorce.
Mediation helps parents focus on their children.
Mediation generally results in improved relationships between children and both parents.
Mediation is generally faster than litigation.
Mediation is generally less stressful than the combative aspects of litigating with court appearances, motions and depositions
