Mediation, compared to other processes, tends to be quicker, more cost-effective, less stressful, more adaptive to the needs of participants and be overall a more satisfying process.
In mediation, you control the outcome. The mediator assists you and your spouse to ensure you have productive conversations and make the decisions you need to move forward. For couples with children, mediators can help you develop an effective co-parenting plan. They can also assist with the division of family assets and debts, spousal support and child support.
If abuse is disclosed, mediators are expected to determine what safeguards must be put in place to ensure a safe and fair mediation and, if none can be devised, to refer the participants to appropriate professionals.
