Mediation is still a valid option for couples who feel they can still openly communicate and tackle the issue of asset division together. Working with a mediator, they will take a deep dive into everything that they own and figure out a way to split everything that leaves both parties feeling fair and validated. If this agreement is reached and the mediator has signed off on the agreement, the court will generally honor it. This can speed up the divorce process and allow both parties to move on faster with less contention.
