What is Marital Mediation?
Marital mediation is an alternative to the adversarial courtroom divorce process. It saves time, money and legal fees, and allows people to decide their own fates in an atmosphere which encourages consensus and resolution.
Couples meet together with a third party, a mediator experienced in divorce law, who assists them in coming to a mutual agreement about residential and decision-making responsibilities, parenting schedules, division of property, or any other issues which need to be worked out.
Settlements on some or all the issues are usually worked out in 3 -5 sessions with a mediator.
