Deciding to divorce or break up with your partner is difficult. Divorce mediation involves two people coming together to talk about divorce and try to reach a resolution that both parties can live with. It can be helpful for people who want to end their marriage but don’t want to end their relationship. Divorce mediation is also an option if you cannot agree on child custody arrangements or spousal support payments. This article will explain what divorce mediation is, how it works, and why so many people choose it over traditional divorce proceedings. Keep reading for more information about divorce mediation and how it can help you resolve your divorce more quickly and more amicably than with standard divorce proceedings.
The word "mediation" has many different meanings in different contexts. In mediation, two people with a dispute meet with a third person (the mediator) who helps them discuss their issues in a mutually supportive way. The two people in the dispute are called the "parties." After meeting with the mediator, both parties report that they feel better about the outcome than if they had just resolved their dispute in a court hearing. The mediator’s job is to help the parties find a solution that is fair to both of them.During mediation, the parties usually try to find a solution that is legally binding and enforceable. The parties may try to draft a parenting plan or property settlement agreement. If they are unable to do that, they may try to resolve other issues, such as child support or spousal support.
Divorce mediation is often a faster and cheaper way to end your marriage than divorce proceedings. Divorce mediation can be less expensive because the parties do not have to hire the same number of attorneys, and are not subject to the same discovery procedures (i.e. they cannot be required to disclose all of their financial information). Some people choose divorce mediation because they are worried about how they will feel if they go through a long, drawn out divorce. Divorce mediation is much less emotionally intense than divorce proceedings, which is why some people choose it. Other people choose divorce mediation because they want to keep their personal and financial information private. Divorce mediation can usually be done faster than divorce proceedings because the parties do not have to go through the same amount of legal procedures.
In divorce mediation, the parties meet with a professional divorce mediator, who will help them talk about their divorce issues in a constructive way. The mediator will usually ask both parties to write down their goals and how they should be resolved. The mediator may also ask the parties to write down their “deal breakers” and “wish list items.” At the end of the mediation, the parties will usually write down a plan of action that they agree to follow. If the parties are unable to reach a solution, the mediation is usually finished. If the parties agree to follow the plan of action, they usually have a signed document that they can use as a settlement agreement or divorce decree. If the parties do not agree on a plan of action, the mediation is usually over.
