Divorce Mediation
Effective Divorce Mediation
An Amicable Way to Resolve Divorce Disputes
Most cases in divorce and family law settle before going to trial. It is usually a matter of when and how a settlement will finally be reached. Mediation is one of the most frequently used methods of negotiating a divorce settlement. Attorney Moniz provides mediation services, which is less adversarial and a significant cost savings by avoiding a costly and lengthy litigated divorce.
Mediation involves meeting with a neutral divorce mediator to resolve the disputes in your case and reach a fair and equitable agreement. Divorce mediation is an option for couples, who recognize the benefits, both emotionally and financially, of working with a divorce mediator to get their case done as amicably as possible and reach a settlement.
Benefits of Mediation:
• Less Expensive than litigation
• No wasted time or expense waiting in Court
• Greater control of the timeframe and schedule
• Greater control over each decision and agreement
• Resolve disputes privately in a confidential setting instead of the open courtroom
• Less adversarial, as an agreement can often be achieved in less time and with less stress and animosity
• Less painful experience for each party and any children involved since the emotional turmoil of a longer litigated divorce is avoided
Many think that mediation only works when a couple has everything figured out and is in total agreement on property division, custody, and support issues. That’s not correct. The mediator works with the couple by facilitating the negotiations between the parties in hopes finding an acceptable resolution for everyone involved.
Divorce mediation is a good option for those who don’t want to litigate. When divorce is taken to court, a judge who does not know you or your family may impose terms that neither party finds satisfactory. Divorce mediation allows the parties to retain greater control over the process and each decision in a confidential setting instead of the open courtroom. Mediation allows parties to work with a professional and neutral divorce mediator to reach their own agreement, including contentious aspects of their divorce.
In the context of divorce and family law, mediation can be used to resolve disputes involving divorce, child custody and parenting plan, child support, alimony, division of assets, division of debts, paternity, and actions for modification. Even if you are already involved in litigation, you can resolve certain disputes outside of court using mediation at any time. By doing so, you can preserve your resources and legal retainer for the issues that may need to be litigated while resolving most issues with significant cost savings.
