WHAT IS MEDIATION?
Mediation is a process where a neutral person assists you both in coming to an agreement. Mediation is an alternative to traditional adversarial court-based divorce (litigation), which usually involves unnecessary stress, conflict, delays and expense.
Mediation allows both spouses to speak with a neutral attorney at the same time to resolve any disputed issues, move toward mutual agreement, and complete the divorce process efficiently.
Put simply, mediation offers a cost-efficient, fast, and collaborative divorce process.
BENEFITS OF MEDIATION
