Divorce mediation is an informal process in which a neutral third party meets with the parties of a potential disagreement or dispute and facilitates a binding written settlement agreement.
The mediator assists the parties through a proven process to minimize quarreling, divide assets and debts, and find healthy solutions for the future of their children.
The mediator is not an arbitrator or judge who can impose a decision or judgment.
As a neutral party, he is not attempting to help one spouse gain an advantage, win, or achieve a victory at the expense of the other party.
His objective is to help the parties find a settlement that both parties think is fair.
Divorce mediation is a viable alternative for resolving the permanent separation of a couple which avoids the time, expense, and heartache of a trial.
