Divorce is painful for everyone involved, from the couple themselves to their children and extended family. Most people do not take this choice lightly but rather arrive at it after every attempt at keeping the union together has failed. One thing that can greatly help to reduce the stress of divorce is for the couple to enter mediation rather than bring their case in front of a family law judge.What is Divorce Mediation?In divorce mediation, the two people who wish to get a divorce meet with a neutral third-party mediator in an effort to resolve issues so the divorce can proceed as quickly as possible. The mediator acts as a facilitator in the session. It is his or her job to keep each party on track toward resolving issues and not allow the session to get bogged down in bitterness or complaints about the other person. The mediator is not permitted to give advice to the divorcing couple. Instead, he or she helps them to arrive at decisions on their own.What Are Some of the Issues Divorce Mediation Can Help Resolve?If the couple has children, the biggest goal of divorce mediation is to help them make decisions regarding custody, visitation and child support without having to engage in an expensive legal battle. Issues relating to all couples that can get resolved in mediation include the division of marital assets, tax status and payment of any joint debt.Benefits of MediationCouples who are amicable enough to agree to mediation will be rewarded with a number of benefits. First, mediation is much less expensive than each party hiring a lawyer and bringing their divorce proceedings to a family law judge. The most recent figures, which were calculated in 2005 by the National Divorce Mediators Association, states that the average length of mediation for divorcing couples was three months with a price tag of approximately $3,000. By contrast, a divorce that is litigated averages 18 months at a cost of $15,000 to complete.Privacy is another big benefit of divorce mediation. Only you, your future ex-spouse and the mediator are aware of your private matters. Family court is open to the public and anyone can come into the courtroom and listen to your private family details being discussed, whether you know the people or not.
