Consider Mediation

Let's face it, going to court during a divorce and letting the judge choose the outcome based on which lawyer is most convincing can be a crap shoot. Judges are overwhelmed with several cases and rely on the lawyers to present the facts, not you. Judges have hundreds of cases they see weekly and are not likely to remember your specific case a few months down the road. The process is lengthy and when couples disagree on issues they may find themselves in and out of court for years. A running log of all communications will provide objectivity. Divorce Communications provides a forum for that objectivity. Combining Divorce Communications with mediation provides parents with the most control over parenting issues and their divorce process.

Mediation is a process in which the parties themselves are in control and are empowered to make their own decisions. The mediator is a neutral party that will not give advice or force an agreement, but lay the groundwork for what needs to be discussed and decided on. The process of mediation is for couples to negotiate their own divorce and retain control over major decisions. Eventually when both parties agree on issues, the mediator will draw up the paperwork to present to the judge.

The process of divorce has changed very little throughout the years. Mediation is a great alternative for those who are willing to sit down and really come up with a plan for the future. Mediation also gives control to the parties involved while not relying solely the judge to decide the outcome.
