Mediation a Money-Saver in a Utah Divorce

All across the United States there is a misconception that divorce has to be expensive. Sure, there are some divorce cases reported in the news that reach hundreds of thousands, even several millions of dollars. The numbers are one factor that draws the attention of the media as well as the dramatic controversy between the spouses that helps increase the cost.

This false assumption even causes some to remain in an unhappy marriage — especially amidst current economic conditions. The truth is that divorce can cost a much or as little as a couple wants it to. Raising the concern with a divorce attorney is one way to open your eyes to money-saving options such as mediation.

Mediation is one way for couples to keep costs down during a divorce. The more court appearances, the higher the cost, but mediation keeps the process out of court. Using mediation can also speed up the process and keep the details private.

There are some things that a spouse can do before mediation to help smooth out and speed up the process. A spouse should think about different aspects of the divorce such as the emotional value versus the financial value of an asset. What is the driving reason behind wanting an asset?

When it comes to children, think about what being a single parent will mean; separating the role of parent and spouse can help an individual decide what custody arrangement might benefit the children most.

While some couples choose to undergo divorce mediation without an attorney, it can leave them financially exposed even when that is not the intent. At the least an attorney should review the settlement agreement.

Navigating a divorce is never easy, and I am so grateful to have had the support of attorney Nathaniel Garrabrandt and paralegal Carren Leavitt. From start to finish, they were responsive, professional, and compassionate. I really appreciated the weekly check-in Every phone call and email was answered promptly. There were moments when I needed immediate help with custody issues and protection—Nathaniel handled those situations with calm expertise and gave me the reassurance I needed during such a stressful and uncertain time.

Divorce can feel overwhelming, but having strong legal guidance made all the difference. Nathaniel and Carren provided not only the legal knowledge but also the steady support that helped me feel protected and confident moving forward. I couldn’t recommend Briwn Family Law more highly to anyone needing a reliable and caring legal team!
