I n general, the public has long been dissatisfied with the traditional litigation process of divorce. Revenge may be sweet but getting on with one's life is even sweeter. Fortunately, there is now a happy and less expensive alternative - mediation. Mediation generally takes anywhere from several weeks to six months, an extremely short period of time compared to litigation which often takes years.
Mediation often saves thousands of dollars and in many cases tens of thousands of dollars.
While it is very difficult to put aside one's anger and compromise, the satisfaction of revenge that one so dearly seeks in a divorce is fleeting. The peace, that one attains from resolving the conflict quickly, inexpensively and fairly lasts a lifetime. Most importantly, there are countless benefits to children. Where parents successfully mediate the children are spared much of the unnecessary anguish of the divorce. Because the process is so much quicker and you and your spouse are paying for one professional versus two to resolve the same issues, the savings are incredible.
