Agreeing to a divorce with your spouse is just the beginning of a process that requires you reach agreements on several legal issues including: marital property division, alimony, child support, visitation, and child custody. Litigating issues in court often adds to your stress both financially and emotionally. And in the end, often it is the judge who decides your fate.
What is a divorce mediator?
A divorce mediator acts as a neutral third party who works with both you and your spouse to negotiate agreements on the disputed issues in your divorce. The goal of the mediator is to help bring about amicable resolutions which reduces emotional trauma and avoids costly litigation for you.
