Divorce Mediation

The issues involved with a divorce can be quite complex, and they can be made even more so by the fact that both spouses must agree on them. At a time when their feelings for each other are turbulent at best, this agreement can be extremely difficult to reach. There are a few ways to help these individuals reach an agreement on tough issues, including retaining an attorney or having the court aid in resolution of disputes.

A popular option for divorcing couples is to hire a mediator. A mediator would be experienced in conflict resolution, and often has a background either as an attorney or a mental health professional. An impartial third party can be incredibly helpful in drafting a divorce agreement because the spouses may not be able to have a productive conversation without guidance.

In most cases, the divorce mediator would be hired by both parties, meaning that they would split the fees and such, and that the mediator would not favor one side or the other. Also, one or both of the spouses may have an attorney or financial analyst present during the discussions to ensure an equitable agreement.

Mediators can help with resolution of all aspects of a divorce, from asset allocation, property division, alimony, custody, and support payments.
