Why Mediation

Promotes communication and cooperation, rather than antagonism and adversity.
Saves thousands of dollars in legal fees.
Keeps you and your spouse in total control of your divorce - not divorce lawyers or the judge - including such life-altering decisions as determining what is a fair distribution of assets/liabilities, spousal support, custody of children, parenting time and child support.
Is confidential, informal and flexible. The sessions are conducted in a private office setting rather than a public courtroom.
Is completely voluntary. Each spouse has an equal say in the process and they decide the terms of the divorce, not the mediator.
Makes you more committed to the agreement, since it is you who works through it, instead of your attorneys.
Takes less time than litigation, enabling couples to sooner move ahead with their own lives.
Helps the children win as well, as they see their parents working together for their interests and future, instead of against one another.
