Divorce Mediation

Divorce mediation is about you, your soon to be ex-spouse and what is best for your children.  It means that you and your spouse decide your own divorce terms and what is best for you, your spouse and children.   The mediator is a neutral third party that aids in the process, so you and your spouse can work through the issues you need to resolve. In turn, it opens doors to end your marriage as amicably and cost effective as possible.

The issues covered in Divorce Mediation are the following (but are not limited):

  1. Distribution of Property (Assets/Liabilities)
  2. Child Custody and Parenting Time
  3. Child Support/Maintenance
  4. Retirement
  5. Taxes

In mediation, the couple, with the help of the mediator, works out agreements on the above issues.  It may be easy, or it may take some time and energy if agreements are hard to reach.  The mediator’s job is to:

  1. Keep lines of communication open
  2. Assist couples in problem solving
  3. Assist couples in reaching equitable outcomes
  4. Assist couples in the decision-making process
  5. Assist couples in exercising empathy
  6. Assist couples to stay focused on issues, solution focused and in touch with reality
  7. Facilitate effective conflict resolution techniques

Mediation is voluntary, flexible and confidential. It gives you and your spouse a way to settle the conflict between you in a way that helps you to work together as parents.  A divorce mediator is neutral and doesn't "work" for either parent. That means the mediator cannot give advice to either party. They must remain neutral no matter what the situation.
How long does divorce mediation take and what are the costs?
The length of time mediation will take depend on the issues that are pending to work on.  If there are issues that you have agreed upon already with your spouse, it will be less lengthy.  It also depends on the time it takes for both of you to come to an equitable agreement and disposition to do what is in the best interest of your children.
On average, pre-decree divorce mediation can be completed in 4-10 sessions.
