Divorce mediation still feels like a new idea in some parts of the country, but it's increasingly well-known and widely accepted. Mediation means different things to different people. In the form I recommend, you and your spouse would sit down in the same room with each other and with a neutral mediator.
The largest advantage to using divorce mediation in the dissolution of a marriage is that it allows the couple to be in charge of their divorce, rather than uninterestedand costlyattorneys. Since divorce mediation is not as inflexible as traditional divorce, it gives the couple a means to work together, rather than working against each other.
Divorce Consultant is a safe place where you get the help you need to deal with your emotions and prepare and organize your divorce. In Divorce mediation couples are encouraged to consider a mutually agreed annulment. A divorce is the legal ending of a marriage however most people associate divorce with disputes over finances, the house and other possessions, even the children. In most cases financial settlements and arrangements about the children are handled separately to the actual process of filing for divorce. Many divorce lawyers are becoming mediators as the demand for divorce mediation grows, and these lawyers usually are happy to work as consulting lawyers on cases they aren't mediating. The Mediator helps couples develop a managed separation path, with mutual solutions avoiding costly and highly stressful contested court proceedings.
