FAQ
-
What is Divorce Mediation?
Divorce mediation is a voluntary process where divorcing couples work with a neutral mediator to reach agreements on issues such as asset division, child custody, and support payments outside of court.
-
How does mediation differ from litigation?
Mediation focuses on collaboration and communication, allowing couples to retain control over the outcome. Litigation involves going to court and having a judge make decisions on behalf of the parties.
-
Is mediation suitable for high-conflict divorces?
Yes, mediation can be effective for high-conflict divorces. Mediators are trained to facilitate constructive dialogue and help parties find common ground, even in challenging situations.
-
How long does mediation typically take?
The duration of mediation varies depending on the complexity of the issues and the willingness of the parties to cooperate. However, many mediations can be completed within a few sessions.
-
Do we need to have lawyers present during mediation?
While having legal representation is not required, it's advisable for each party to consult with an attorney independently to review any agreements reached during mediation and ensure their legal rights are protected.
-
What happens if we can't reach an agreement in mediation?
If parties are unable to reach an agreement in mediation, they may choose to pursue litigation or explore alternative dispute resolution options. However, the majority of mediations result in mutually acceptable agreements.
