Cost Savings
Mediation is the most affordable way to obtain a divorce. By choosing mediation you will:
- Have one mediator who serves both of you fairly.
- Achieve settlement in less time and with less stress than with a litigated divorce.
- Avoid the adversarial costs of subpoenas, depositions and interrogatories.
- Attend a one-time court hearing, in which your written agreement will meet with the courts approval, avoiding multiple costly hearings and trials.
- Resolve future issues in your settlement, such as responsibility for college costs and future adjustments to support, avoiding future litigation.
