Divorce mediation, unlike the traditional court-based litigation process, offers a quicker and less stressful solution. With mediation, spouses are in control of their futures instead of being controlled by the system (judge and attorneys).It is also more affordable than a court proceeding. Mediation promotes collaboration between spouses instead of creating division like in litigation where attorneys may aggressively represent their client’s interests.Mediation is a healthier alternative to the toxic nature of court proceedings which can be insensitive and further break down a family already facing overwhelming challenges.
