Why Choose Mediation?
Divorce doesn’t have to mean hiring lawyers, battling your spouse in court, and waiting years for a resolution. If you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse don’t like that picture, you can skip the lawsuit altogether.
Shared between both spouses — versus $25,000+ each in a litigated divorce.
In mediation, you set the pace — most couples finish in a fraction of the time.
Every issue is resolved at the mediation table — without ever stepping into a courtroom.
It Costs Less Than a Typical Divorce
Divorce lawyers aren’t cheap — hourly rates run around $400 per spouse, and over the long course of a litigated divorce those hours really add up. Both parties can spend tens of thousands of dollars before there’s a resolution.
Mediation can save you thousands. Rather than each hiring your own attorney, you share the cost of one mediator — and because nothing is contested in court, the quicker process means far fewer billable hours.
The Process Is Much Faster
The average litigated divorce takes 9 months to 2 years — a long time to pay high lawyer fees, and a long time to live with a lawsuit. Lengthy divorces put your life on hold, and impatience can tempt you to compromise on things you weren’t originally comfortable with.
In mediation, the timeline is entirely up to you. You schedule your own sessions, take enough time to discuss every matter thoroughly, and move at the pace that suits you both — so you can reach agreement and move on to the next chapter.
Your Divorce Is Not a Battle
No one likes the idea of battling personal matters in court, or feeling like they have to fight and pay thousands of dollars just to see their kids. If you and your spouse want a less painful, more amicable divorce, the litigation process isn’t necessary.
By skipping the lawyers and court processes, you bypass the emotional toll of a divorce battle while still having the legal guidance to settle every issue. You likely won’t agree on every matter — couples seeking a divorce rarely do. What matters is the desire to work amicably with your spouse. We can guide you through the rest.
All Matters of Divorce Are Handled in a Mediation
Faster and cheaper doesn’t mean anything is overlooked. Every matter in your divorce is thoroughly discussed with the help of your mediator, and resolved in the same process — you can rest assured your concerns are covered.
