Divorce Mediation Overview
Divorce Mediation is when an attorney or neutral third person meets with a divorcing couple in an attempt to come to reasonable agreements regarding the key issues in their divorce proceedings without having to go to Court. Mediation can be extremely helpful because it allows a divorcing couple to work things out without the stress of going to trial. In mediation, both parties meet with an experienced professional who will provide objective information and non-prejudicial comments. The major thing to understand in mediation is that neither party is making the decisions. It is strictly a collaborative process where each party meets with a divorce mediator with each trying to reach an agreement that they feel will be in the best interest of the children, who are the victims in this situation.
