As a divorce lawyer, I have seen countless families go through the painful process of separation, and it breaks my heart to see them struggle.
A way to avoid this, is to consider family mediation.
There are three key reasons why I feel family mediation could be a very viable option for many couples:
- Family mediation promotes communication and cooperation. One of the biggest challenges of a divorce or separation is the breakdown of communication between family members. Mediation sessions offer a safe and neutral space for parties to express their needs and concerns, and work together to find solutions. By promoting communication and cooperation, families can develop healthy, positive relationships that will endure long after the mediation process is over.
- Family mediation can save time and money. Traditional divorce proceedings can be costly and time-consuming, often requiring multiple court appearances and lengthy legal battles. Mediation, on the other hand, is typically much faster and more cost-effective. By avoiding the expense and delays of a court case, families can focus on moving forward and rebuilding their lives.
- Family mediation empowers families to make their own decisions. In a court case, decisions are often made by a judge who doesn’t know the family or their unique circumstances. In mediation, however, families have the power to make their own decisions about how to resolve their disputes. This can lead to more personalized and creative solutions that work for everyone involved.
