Divorce Mediation can and is used in the process of divorce at almost any phace or time. There are many who believe that the docket sets the time for mediation and while this is true for many it is not the case in all situations. From our perspective at the Institute for Mediation, the time to have a mediation is when all the parties to the divorce are willing and want to move on with their life. Mediation is an event that will allow the parties to move on with their life and set the rules for whatever continuing relationship their might be between the parties.
A litigated divorce can take years and tens of thousands of dollars to complete in the court room. That is not to mention the emotional currency that is expended every day that the litigation goes on. In most cases a divorce mediation can be formalized in a matter of days and completed in less than ninety days. The cost of completing your divorce through mediation will cost a fraction of the cost of litigating it in the courts.
Using the Institute for Mediation for your mediation you will have a mediator who is thoroughly versed in family law as a mediator, one that holds advanced certification in family mediation, and a mediator who will work with the parties as a neutral to help you reach a fair settlement. Actually the settlement that can be reached in mediation is sometimes quite a bit more favorable to the parties than what they might reach in court where the cost would be considerably higher.
You may enter mediation before or after you retain an attorney. While it is not recommended some parties do not retain an attorney until time to file the divorce petition. Actually, in many cases the parties pick one attorney to incorporate the elements of their “mediated settlement agreement” into a divorce petition and file it for the parties.
All issues such as child support, child custody or possession, property settlement, and the actual divorce can and are handled in mediation. We gave both male and female mediators and always have a member of both genders ready to help out on a mediation if the need arises. Divorce Mediation truly gives the parties big savings.
