A divorce is rarely a pleasant thing. However, there are many more
situations that can make a divorce even more problematic. For example,
when the two of you have trouble communicating and you cannot agree on
the terms of the divorce, separation of property and other details.
Another burden of divorce is the expense that is involved.
Divorces are very costly and the more you debate about and need attorneys to go to court about, the more it’s going to cost you. The both of you will end up putting a lot of money in your attorney’s pockets but maybe still not feeling like you have resolved anything.
This type of legal battle often turns two people who just want to go their separate ways into long time enemies. But there is another option that might work for you. If you are seeking divorce and you both agree to go your separate ways but you are not 100% in agreement over other arrangements such as bills, property or other shared items from your marriage, then consider divorce mediation instead of lawyers.
Mediation is part of a legal process known as Alternative Dispute Resolution, or ADR, and it can greatly help you find common ground over your divorce without the long and expensive process of going through the courts.
For example, if you and your partner are arguing over who gets the house or who is responsible for which joint bills you had together, then you can work together with a third party who is not bound to either one of you in a financial manner and work it out through mediation.
This will give you the opportunity to talk about what you want and share your feelings without feeling like you will be judged or attacked. The mediator can hear both sides and help you find an agreement that you both are happy with. You will walk away from the experience feeling like you have resolved something and that there is a conclusion you can live with, instead of like one party “won” and the other one “lost” while really you both spent a ton more money than was needed to resolve the issues.
In divorce mediation through ADR, both sides can win. You can be adults about your separation and handle the issues in a mature way, with just a little help.
