What is Divorce Mediation?

Mediation is an informal intervention between two parties to resolve disputes and reach an agreement. The process is facilitated by a trained third party, called a mediator. It is often used in legal matters as a cost-effective alternative to litigation.

The same method is used in divorce. Divorce mediation may be suggested to you and your spouse when going through a divorce. In this situation, both you and your spouse will attend a mediation session with an independent mediator to discuss issues relevant to the divorce. Issues may include child custody, child custody and alimony. The intent is to work through those pain points and reach an agreement amicably without having to go to court.
