What Can You Expect from Divorce Mediation?

More and more people are considering the benefits of divorce mediation as opposed to a traditional approach. While there are reasons to look into this, you don’t want to go into the process blind.

With divorce mediation, a mediator acts as a neutral party with the goal of pushing the process forward one step at a time. This person is not there to make decisions or force one party into doing something. Instead, they mediate all meetings in an attempt to help both sides reach an agreement.

During the first meeting, the couple and mediator discuss all the issues at hand. This gives everybody an overview of what is to be accomplished.

During each subsequent meeting, discussions are based on how to compromise so that both parties are happy with the end result. The mediator provides assistance by sharing knowledge of how divorce issues are typically handled by the court system. This gives both people a better idea of what would happen if they were to abandon the mediation process.

The goal of all parties involved is to reach an agreement. Once this happens, the mediator is staffed with the responsibility of creating the agreement for review by both parties.

You never know what will happen during divorce mediation, but this is a good alternative to the traditional court process. As somebody faced with this, make sure you have a clear idea of what to expect during each meeting. This can help you prepare for what’s to come, while allowing you to make decisions that put you in a positive position moving forward.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
