The stereotypical view of divorce is one of opposing parties pulling out all of the stops to help ensure that their side “wins.” While traditional divorce litigation can be emotionally contentious and stressful, there are other options available to couples who are willing to work with one another to help reach an agreement that they can both live with. Mediation is one such alternative to a court-ordered divorce agreement. At Stange Law Firm, PC, we have multiple attorney mediators on staff who can help determine whether this option is right for you.

Helping You and Your Ex Reach an Agreement Voluntarily

Mediation offers a great way for couples who still talk to each other to handle an uncontested divorce. The whole process depends on working together, starting with picking a skilled mediator. Many times, both parties team up to find the perfect mediator that fits their needs. Some mediators carry special certificates and qualifications to help make things smoother. Lawyers can share more details about how this works and what to expect. This method shows how teamwork can turn a tough situation into something a bit easier, making it worth considering before diving into court battles.

The mediator will work with both of you to help you reach an agreement. He or she can help you explore your options and help you see things from each other’s point of view. You can choose to meet with your mediator jointly or in a private session without having your ex present.

Because mediation does not involve protracted courtroom litigation, it is often a less expensive option than traditional divorce proceedings. However, because any agreement that is entered into is legally binding, it is still wise to have legal counsel on your side to ensure that your interests remain protected throughout the process.
