Divorce Mediation is a voluntary process which offers a more benevolent alternative to divorce litigation. Mediation requires parties that are committed to resolving their issues together, to finding a middle ground in which both parties will go away feeling as if they are getting a fair and reasonable “piece of the pie.”

The Separation Agreement or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that is the end result of the couple’s mediation sessions reflects what the parties want versus what the Court dictates when no settlement is reached.  There is a greater sense of satisfaction and closure once the parties have designed their Agreement or MOU.

Some of the other benefits often realized by mediating:

• Decreases the degree of hurt and anger;
• Lessens strife and contention from which children benefit;
• Costs much less than litigation;
• Allows compromise and negotiation; and
• Quicker than litigation

This process is open to any couple who has a history of being able to make decisions together.  Mediation is usually not appropriate for parties who have been involved in domestic violence – with or without a restraining order.
