Mediation Services still A Good Idea for an Uncontested Divorce

Many Utah couples may be able to come to reasonably fair terms of their divorce, without the need of formal litigation. An uncontested divorce can certainly help move the process along much more quickly. However, to ensure a settlement is fair and all legal aspects are accounted for, the use of mediation services may prove valuable. As divorce affects so many areas, especially if children are involved, it is important to make sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed, so to speak.

The use of mediation services can provide a neutral place for divorcing couples to meet and discuss or negotiate just about anything pertaining to their divorce. Issues such as setting child custody or visitation schedules are often an area of contention, even in the most amicable of situations. A little work may be necessary to find a solution both parties feels is in the best interest of their children and themselves.

Any specific terms regarding child support, spousal support and property division can also be addressed in mediation. These services can be utilized with or without the use of legal counsel, though many would suggest having a legal team is preferable. In the very least, an attorney should review any mediated agreements to ensure all legal rights are honored. Uncontested or not, no one wants to be taken advantage of.

Even an uncontested divorce has its complexities that will require discussion and negotiation. Having a safe place that creates a level playing field for both parties may be just what is needed to help generate a fair and balanced agreement. Mediation services are certainly a valuable aspect of family law and could prove beneficial for Utah couples seeking a divorce.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!
David Handy and his team were fantastic in helping me navigate custody time with my daughter. He gave the me reassurance and encouragement I needed with each step and I couldn't be more grateful to him! Thanks David! And to his team Candace & Brooklyn for being very helpful in keeping constant communication open. I enjoyed working with everyone!
I had a great experience. Amazing guidance and direction to best help me and my situation.
This has honestly been a first-class experience! I've gotten to work with many attorneys throughout my life and none have been as attentive as, Clay Randle has been.
Daniel and Carren were great to work with. They took time to help me understand the process and get through a difficult time. When I had questions they were quick to respond and really listened to my concerns.
Glad Jason was fired. Clay can handle any case like a champ. Thank you brown family law.
Kayelise was the easiest to talk to. She addressed all my questions regarding my divorce and has so much empathy for those she talks to. I can’t thank her enough for her guidance in my divorce and answering all my questions.
I have had the privilege of working alongside Nate Garrabrandt through our BNI group and hearing him share valuable insights every week about the divorce process. Even though I haven’t personally needed the services of Brown Family Law, I can confidently say that Nate is extremely knowledgeable, well-educated, and passionate about helping his clients navigate such a challenging time. His professionalism and expertise stand out, and I would not hesitate to recommend him and his firm to anyone in need of a skilled divorce attorney.
