Five Reasons You Should Consider Mediation
It’s no secret that divorce is one of life’s most stressful events. The emotional, financial, and family changes are often further complicated by the legal process. However, for many Mediation is an ideal solution to resolve their issues while avoiding lengthy and expensive court appearances. There are several pros, and a few cons of the Mediation process, outlined below:
1. Mediation can be less expensive. The parties both pay for the mediator instead of each party paying for their own attorney.
2. Information can be easily shared between the parties, and documents required by the Court by both parties can be quickly prepared and exchanged. This can translate to less time wasted waiting on forms and lower legal fees.
3. Parties are far less likely to appear in court, saving time, and most importantly, expensive attorney’s fees.
4. Mediation promotes informal open discussion between the parties to resolve the issues on their terms and at their pace. Rather than terms dictated by a Judge who doesn’t know the parties or their family’s needs, and is restricted by codes and case law. With the parties in greater control, they can create specific solutions that reflect the needs of their family. Please note the Mediator cannot give either party legal advice.
5. Mediation is voluntary. Both parties choose the Mediator so they are not stuck with a Judge who may have a particular bias. Also, neither party is obligated to the suggestions of the Mediator, so if you want your day in Court, you can end the Mediation process at any time.
If you have a divorce or family law matter and cannot reach an agreement, Mediation can help you resolve your matter and save you time and money. For questions regarding Mediation, Divorce, or other Family Law issues contact The Reape-Rickett Law Firm at 1-888-846-6166
