What Happens in the Mediation Process?
Mediation helps spouses come to a favorable agreement that suits both sides. There is usually an initial appointment, where both spouses will share their goals and desired outcome for the divorce. The mediator will be present to keep the peace between the couple. Their role is to make sure all matters are handled fairly.
Spouses will need to create an agreement that addresses following issues:
Once they have done this, the mediator will review it to ensure it honors both parties and may draft a document for court approval. Not only does mediation allow a couple to resolve their issues in a peaceful setting, but it also saves them time and money by avoiding costly divorce litigation. It is important to note, however, that mediation will not be right for everyone. If a couple cannot come to an agreement on issues or there is a history of abuse or manipulation, dissolving a marriage before a judge may be more beneficial.
