Do divorce mediators work?
Anyone going through a divorce should consider mediation, which can work for almost all couples and has a long list of benefits. Mediation is much less expensive than a court trial or a series of hearings. The mediation process can improve communication between you and your spouse, helping you avoid future conflicts.
What happens if you don’t settle in mediation?
If a mediation fails, it can be extremely frustrating if one party is ready to settle or both parties were prepared to negotiate. In the rare case that mediation fails, there are still alternatives before you go to Court. Often working out why mediation fails will allow you to negotiate without going to court.
Is mediation a waste of time?
Unfortunately, mediation does not always end in agreement. Parties might spend their time and money in mediation only to find they must have their case settled by a court of law. Therefore, opting for mediation does pose some risk.
