What Is the Mediation Process?
Mediation is a voluntary process that involves a neutral third party – called a mediator – who intervenes in a court case to help both parties reach an agreement. The role of the mediator is to help the parties involved communicate effectively with each other, clarifying any confusion and keeping the conversation focused on solving important legal issues.
Unlike a judge, a mediator does not make any decisions for the parties involved. Instead, divorce mediators strive to make it easier for the divorcing couple to come to a compromise together so they have more control over the results than they would in a traditional divorce case. If you want to learn more about how neutral mediators can help you get a legally binding agreement that allows you to avoid trial, contact our firm today to speak with an accredited mediator.
What Are the Benefits of the Mediation Process?
The divorce mediation process has become increasingly popular due to the many benefits it offers divorcing couples who wish to avoid going to trial. The main advantages of hiring a neutral third party to navigate family law issues include:
- It’s cost-effective, as mediation sessions often cost a lot less than expensive litigation in front of a judge
- It’s typically faster than a trial, especially if you and your spouse can resolve your disputes within a few mediation sessions
- It’s confidential, as the conversations and decisions stemming from mediation are private, not public record like court proceedings
- It’s less stressful and combative than a divorce trial, since you’re working toward a solution together in a relaxed, safe environment, not an intimidating courtroom
- It allows you to have more control over the results, as you and your spouse have the final say in your family law matters rather than a judge who doesn’t know you
In general, if you want to maintain an amicable relationship with your spouse while saving time and money on divorce, you should try divorce mediation. Call our firm today to speak with an experienced family mediator serving clients in Morris County and beyond.
