Is mediation the right path for your divorce case?

Mediation is an informal process in which a neutral third party assists disputing parties in reaching a settlement. A successful mediation should result in a written settlement agreement that is enforceable as a contract.

A significant challenge for mediators is to help disputants figure out what they are really fighting about in order to develop resolutions based. These days mediation is becoming more popular in divorce cases. Since mediation is voluntary, participants are more willing to comply with the terms of their mediated settlement terms than with a judgment imposed upon them by the courts.

In deciding whether mediation right for your case, consider the following questions:
1. Are you and your spouse able to talk and listen to one another?
2. Are you and your spouse willing to completely disclosure your finances to your each other as well as to the mediator?
3. Are you and your spouse willing and able to trust that the other party made such a disclosure?
4. Are you and your spouse ready and able to make choices and decisions about his or her future?
