Mediation is the most cost-effective choice for couples that want to work together to settle their differences and resolve conflict without going to court. Mediation employs two neutral professionals, one attorney and one coach, who work with both parties to effectively negotiate and reach mutual decisions regarding the dissolution of their marriage. In this approach, common goals are established and achieved with the guidance of the mediation team. For clients with children, the mediators facilitate mutually agreed custody and parenting plans that focus on the children’s best interests. Conflicts are quickly resolved by allowing the parties to process issues directly with one another rather than through the costly use of an advocate attorney. A team-based mediation allows people to get on with their lives without the high price tag of a litigated divorce.
