How to Know if Mediation is Right for Your Divorce

  • Post author:

Mediation is the best chance for success when both parties are willing to work together and not resort immediately to litigation.

Divorce can be very stressful for anyone involved, and the correct type of mediation may make it less so. Suppose you are considering divorce in California or any other state that uses traditional courts-driven proceedings rather than embedded arbitration systems like Arizona (which offers greater flexibility). In that case, we recommend looking into how this technique could help save your precious energy while still achieving an amicable resolution to what has been such emotionally draining fighting with one’s spouse!

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is reached when both parties agree to end the marriage, agreeing on grounds for completing it and having settled almost all related issues such as child custody or property division. If there are still minor ancillary matters left open from reaching a complete agreement, how much alimony will one get? In this case, too, because they’re willing participants in resolving these final few details before starting their new life apart, mediation seems likely here too! Mediation can be a good solution.

No-Fault Divorce

When a couple does not want to fight through mediation, they can choose an uncontested no-fault divorce. The parties will agree on all major issues and only need one document signed after agreeing on how much alimony or child support is owed by each party and any arrangements for custody of children involved in this situation.

Mediation is an excellent way to resolve conflicts amicably when both parties are willing. If one person wants mediation but isn’t committed enough for the long haul with their partner in negotiations and compromises that need to be made on all sides of this process, then it may not work out well.

The best case scenario would have two individuals who understand how important reaching common ground can help them move forward after something as emotionally trying -and sometimes physically dangerous-as divorce proceedings!

Fault Divorce

Mediation is often a good choice when there are no major unresolved issues between the couple. Still, it can also be helpful in an equitable divorce where one or both parties have legitimate reasons for wanting out of their marriage. Mediators help couples work together without spiteful motives by using patience and understanding during sessions that typically last two hours per week over six weeks (with some shorter experimental periods).

Mediation is an excellent way for people trying to work things out with their spouse without lawyers involved, but there are some circumstances in which it won’t do any good. If someone wants a divorce because they feel cruel or were abused by their partner during the marriage, then going through the process of mediation will only worsen the matter since this type of interaction between foes could cause more harm than help – so these individuals should go straight; into litigation instead!
