Benefits of divorce mediation for busy working professionals

On Behalf of | Dec 28, 2016 | Divorce Mediation |

Are you a busy working professional? If so, you know just how difficult it can be to find a few spare moments in your life.

Unfortunately, if you find yourself faced with divorce, you know that your life will be turned upside down for the time being. Subsequently, this can begin to put stress on your career.

Although litigation can’t always be avoided, there are times when mediation is a great alternative. There are many benefits for busy working professionals, including but not limited to the following:

1. Amicable process

With litigation, it’s not uncommon for things to take a turn for the worse in the courtroom. When this happens, a bad situation can turn even worse. In the event that children are involved, both parents will need to remain in contact in the future. However, after a nasty courtroom battle, tensions can be high.

2. Privacy

Are you concerned about discussing your personal and financial matters in the courtroom? Like many, this is something you would rather avoid if at all possible. With divorce mediation, everything is private. The only people involved are you, your former spouse, your attorneys, and of course, the mediator.

3. Effective

One of the biggest concerns with litigation is a lack of control. With mediation, you won’t run into this issue. Instead, both parties have more control over the process, giving them the ability to feel involved. Even better, final decisions aren’t left up to the judge. Instead, both individuals can work together to settle on mutually beneficial solutions.

Along with the above, it’s important to note that divorce mediation focuses on more than putting your relationship in the past. It allows you to resolve issues associated with child support, child custody, and alimony among other important details.

All in all, the goals of divorce mediation are simple to understand:

  • Create a mutually acceptable divorce agreement in an amicable manner.
  • Avoid the time and cost associated with litigation.
  • Minimize stress.

You have a lot going on in your life, so you don’t want to get bogged down by a messy, drawn out divorce process. As long as your former spouse agrees to the mediation process, you can take full advantage.

Remember, opting for mediation doesn’t mean you’re on your own. You can still work with an attorney to ensure that you’re making informed decisions.
