Divorce mediation offers several advantages over courtroom litigation. It provides you with more control over the terms of your divorce, as you and your spouse directly contribute to the settlement terms rather than leaving decisions to a judge. This can result in a more tailored agreement that better reflects your individual needs and objectives. Additionally, mediation tends to be less adversarial, which can preserve a more amicable relationship post-divorce, and it is often more cost-effective and quicker than going through the courts.
