Why Choose Mediation?
Because your family matters. Because you want results without conflict. Because you want your issues settled in a timely manner.
If you’re going through a separation or divorce, you may be wondering if you should choose mediation as the process for resolving your family law dispute.
There are various other processes to resolve your family law dispute of course but few (maybe none) match the benefits of a mediated settlement. With mediation, you can preserve any good will you have left. While the relationship may be over, you may still find yourselves continually involved in the other party’s life. This is especially true if you have children or if you have close bonds with extended family.
The end of a relationship is stressful in and of itself. There is so much uncertainty.
You can do without the additional stress of going through an adversarial process in resolving the issues that invariably arise as a result of a separation.
How about costs? Are you concerned about what your divorce or separation will cost? Good news! Mediation will cost you way less. The problem with court is that there are so many procedures unrelated to resolving your issues. This is why the costs are so exorbitant. Mediation is focused. You cut out all the fluff and drill down on resolving the issues that matter to your family.
Do you want to be in charge of making the decisions that affect your family’s life? Then choose mediation.
No one else understands your needs and the needs of your family like you do. Why leave the decision entirely to a 3 rd party?
At mediation, you get to be creative and can come up with unconventional solutions if that works best for you and your family. At mediation, you have a voice. You get heard, and you are treated with the respect you deserve. If you have concerns about being in the same room with the other party, do not worry about that. We can design our process to ensure that you are not together at any point. We can even design our process to ensure that you do not speak to each other. The negotiations can take place completely through the mediator.
If you have concerns about sitting with the other party and negotiating a settlement, do not worry.
I think it is clear at this point why you should choose mediation but everyone one likes a list so here’s a simple list summarizing why you should choose mediation.
