Divorce rates have increased over the past few decades and can often lead to bitter custody battles for children and litigation for property and assets. Mediation can be a better alternative to settle differences and can help in the following areas.
Keep Stronger Family Ties
Mediation can bring a speedier close to an otherwise lengthy legal battle that can adversely affect your children. This in turn will keep your family stronger, even as you and your spouse separate.Give Greater Control Over the Divorce
Staying out of the court means that you have more control and input on coming to agreements between you and your ex-partner. Once you are in a standard divorce proceeding, you abdicate power to the courts which can lead to less than favorable outcomes for one or both parties involved as the courts will decide your fate, and not you. Mediation will help resolve conflicts faster, and on your own terms.Help Make Sense of the Divorce
Communication with the assistance of a mediator allows for better understanding and cooperation between soon to be ex-partners that have split up. A good mediator can facilitate any disagreements that arise and by choosing this option. It is already understood from the beginning that both parties would like an agreeable outcome to what can be an otherwise hostile and painful separation.Receive a Free Case Review from Experienced Divorce Mediation Lawyers in Salt Lake City, Utah
In mediation, a confidentiality agreement is signed, thus keeping negotiations between you and your ex-partner somewhat private. Traditional divorce proceedings in court don't allow for this confidentiality and can often cause unnecessary pain and drama amongst relatives and children. Working in the privacy of mediation will lessen the chances of destructive and bitter disagreements becoming public and causing more anguish and drama between your ex-partner and family members.No one wants to suffer through a lengthy and costly divorce process, if it is at all avoidable. Mediation has many benefits to make the process smoother, more affordable and quicker so you can begin to move on to a new phase of your life.
