Can divorce mediation help with addressing disputes?

On Behalf of The Koblin Family Law Center | Jan 31, 2017 | Divorce

Divorce can be tough even in the most amicable of situations. This is especially the case when there is a lot on the line in the way of assets and property. Fortunately, mediation for divorcing couples can be a helpful solution for addressing divorce disputes in the state of California.

What is divorce mediation?

Mediation is a process that allows two people who are getting divorced to work toward a divorce settlement that is mutually beneficial and satisfactory. Settlements that are mediated generally have a much higher rate of compliance, since the spouses created the agreements on their own.

The process of mediation involves a neutral third party who is trained to help married couples to effectively address their issues during divorce. The mediator essentially facilitates communication between the two individuals and ensures that each spouse has time to talk without interruption. The mediator will ask a person to explain his or her point or to repeat himself or herself if necessary. In addition, the mediator may ask questions to clarify the points each person is attempting to convey.

The mediator, furthermore, offers information regarding the legal system, alternatives for dealing with issues, and how judges will view certain matters. If necessary, a mediator can also refer a couple to a third-party expert for a service, such as a property appraisal.

What are the benefits of divorce mediation?

One of the greatest benefits of mediation is that it enables you and your future ex-spouse to take full control of planning your own lives as well as making good decisions regarding your futures. It is particularly beneficial for those with children, as they will have to keep making decisions together about their children for years after the divorce. Another huge advantage of mediation is that no appearances in court are necessary for mediation. Mediation, therefore, can be less stressful for the entire family in addition to being less time-consuming and less expensive than divorce litigation.

The process of decision making that you learn through medication can provide a helpful model for you and your spouse’s future communications. A knowledgeable attorney in California can walk you through the process of mediation for divorcing couples and help you to fight for your rights during this type of family law proceeding.
