Combative vs. Collaborative. By its nature, litigation is combative and adversarial because each party and their lawyers are fighting for what they feel is fair.
Private vs. Public. Court proceedings are considered public records. Any disagreements, disclosures, or financial matters are available to the public. Divorce mediation, on the other hand, is private and confidential.
Control vs. Compliance. In divorce mediation Anaheim, spouses are in control of the final decisions. In litigation, the court determines the outcome, and the couple is required to comply. For many couples, this one differentiation is what brings them to the mediation table.
Expensive vs. Efficient. Settling a case out of court with the help of divorce mediation specialists saves you thousands of dollars. Preparing for a hearing takes time and, considering attorney’s fees, it may cost an extraordinary amount of money.
