Why Have a Mediator in a Divorce?
Divorces can be so dramatic and affect way more people than just the couple getting divorced. Think about the:
Mediation involves bringing in a third party to help the couple getting divorced air out their issues and negotiate easier.
A mediator can help you negotiate issues surrounding:
Dividing Marital Property
Emotions can run high during a divorce and you may not always be thinking clearly, which is part of the reason having a third party present can really help. You may try to gain all marital property out of spite when in reality, that's not what's best for you or your family. A mediator can listen to both of your concerns and use their skills and training to help you reach an agreement in a timely manner.
Agreeing on Child Support and Parenting Time
You love your kids and you want to see them as much as possible, but the reality here is your kids (depending on your family situation) need both parents, so what you may be thinking, may not be the best thing for your children. A mediator can hear you out and your spouse out. Both of you can feel likely you have truly been listened to and you could be surprised how much that can really help. At the end of the day, an agreement needs to be reached for the entire family's sake and a mediator can help you do that.
Deciding on Alimony Amounts
Your idea of what might be appropriate maintenance (alimony) might not be reasonable. A mediator can help you see what's realistic and help you and your spouse reach an agreement on this so you can both move on with your lives.
...and much more.
