What is divorce mediation?

Divorce mediation is the process of spouses sitting down with an impartial, third-party mediator to settle divorce terms outside of court. Experienced divorce mediators facilitate productive conversations between spouses with the intention of agreeing to divorce terms. Many spouses find mediation to be a great way to settle divorce terms amicably while saving lots of time and money.

Stages of Divorce Mediation

1. Initial Meeting

In your first meeting, the mediator will explain their role and that they must remain neutral throughout the entire mediation process. Spouses can ask the mediator some general questions and give a brief introduction to the topics they’d like to address.

2. Negotiation

The negotiation process begins with each spouse explaining their respective solutions to a given dispute, like property division or child custody terms. Spouses will present their ideal divorce terms and compromise until an agreement is reached.

If the spouses end up in gridlock and are having trouble compromising, the mediator can make a proposition. Each party can revise this proposition bit by bit until both spouses can agree on a settlement. Or, both parties and the mediator can brainstorm solutions until they come up with one that works for them. If the mediation session turns into a shouting match, the mediator can individually meet with each spouse and relay negotiations between the parties.

3. Settlement

Once the spouses have agreed to divorce terms, the divorce mediation attorney can draft a final divorce agreement. Your attorney can then revise the document as needed and file it with the court on your behalf, finalizing the divorce. It’s that simple.

Is Mediation Right For You?

Many spouses wonder if mediation is the right option for them. Spouses may feel as though mediation will be a waste of time, or worry that their rights may be jeopardized. Understand that you can protect your rights in mediation and reach an agreement with the help of your own divorce mediation attorney. If you and your spouse want to civilly settle divorce disputes outside of court, then divorce mediation may be right for you.
