Family Law Mediation
Mediation is the most practical choice for couples to make when facing a divorce if the parties can agree to it.. It helps avoid the stress of litigation, loss of time from work and it saves money.
A settlement agreement is worked out mainly by the parties themselves with the help of a attorney mediator.
This method can be used for settling all issues or some that are not in great dispute. In a mediation settlement one attorney acts as a mediator and does not represent one party or the other. This way the attorney can make suggestions and advise what is best legally without taking sides.
When parties can manage to work out a fair settlement agreement it is more likely to cause less conflicts after the divorce especially where children are involved.
As a result, the adherence rate to mediated agreements is typically much higher than that of the adherence rate of court orders.
