The mediator will make sure you are both aware of the incomes and assets of the other by requiring full disclosure. Mediation is cost-effective and it is faster. Compared with other ways of settling divorce disputes, mediation is cost-effective and fast. In most cases, ten to twelve hours is all that is required in resolving the dispute. This saves you time and money.
Mediation is voluntary.
Mediation is a voluntary process that can be terminated at any time by either of you. Either of you can withdraw from the mediation at any time and for any reason. Mediation is confidential. By statute in Massachusetts, mediation performed by qualified mediators who meet the statutory conditions is a confidential process. Once an agreement is signed, all communications made in the presence of a mediator, all work products prepared by the mediator, and all case files of the mediator are confidential and protected from disclosure by the mediator in any legal proceeding.
