What Is Mediation?
In a standard legally-pursued divorce (litigation), both parties retain a lawyer throughout the process. Litigation tends to be somewhat adversarial and unpredictable. This is often because a resolution is being sought by two opposing forces that are working to, in essence, “win.”
Divorce mediation takes a softer approach, where each party is represented by only themselves, and a peaceful resolution to the marriage is sought with the assistance of a neutral third party. While a mediator is always a capable divorce lawyer, legal counsel is strictly avoided. The third-party representative instead strives to keep communication open and focused, with an emphasis on neutral evaluation.

Why Should I Choose Mediation?
There are numerous reasons why mediation has become the go-to for many going through the divorce process, even beyond the staggering success rate:
- More amicable. Peaceful discussion and problem solving is proven to be far more effective and simpler for all parties involved.
- Less time and cost spent. Because the mediation process is much faster overall, you can avoid the sometimes harsh legal costs incurred by pursuing litigation.
- Less stressful. With easier and open communication, many find mediation to be a much less taxing event, which can even improve post-divorce and family relations after the fact.
- More confidential. As long as litigation is not pursued, and all aspects of the mediation process are agreed upon, there is no public record for mediation.
