Divorce mediation is a process which attempts to resolve conflicts, if you and your spouse can come to an agreement. There are many benefits of mediating your divorce:

1. You are more in control – You get an opportunity to choose the topics you want to discuss and settle. You and your spouse may have the final say over the terms of your agreement, not a court.
2. Mediation will cost less – You and your spouse will most likely only have to pay one professional who is dedicated to helping both of you reach a resolution. Lengthy divorce battles and trials may lead to very expensive legal fees, greater anxiety & possible contempt between you and your spouse. Mediation will try to minimize all of that.
3. You may get a faster resolution – You can set your own timeline to resolve issues without having to wait for the next court date which may be months between hearings.
4. Mediation may allow for more personal attention – You and your spouse will work directly with the mediator who will propose and try come to agreements on your options. Judges cannot have the opportunity to get to know each family while in a court room, a mediator does; thus a better and less hurried decision can usually be made.
5. You will more than likely be able to minimize or shield your child or children from your conflict – A custody trial may require your child/children to be interviewed by experts either in court or at home. A mediator can help keep the focus on your child/children and what is in their best interest as that is the law in California.
6. Mediation may allow for a more stable life after the divorce – Mediation seeks to improve both parties’ understanding of each other and their ability to communicate with each other and their children. If you have children you will be co-parenting for a few years, coming out of a divorce with the ability to communicate effectively is very important not only for you and your spouse, but extremely helpful for your child/children.
7. Going through a divorce is an emotionally exhausting process even under the best of circumstances. While you work through your personal problems, let the Law Offices of Morton J.
