How Divorce Doc. Prep Works, and Why It Works Well With As-Needed Mediation

If you and your spouse have decided to legally separate or divorce, there are a lot of questions that you’ll need to ask one another. Who gets the house? Who’s going to have access to the summer home? How will financial responsibilities in regards to any children be divided, if applicable? If your separation or decision to begin divorce proceedings wasn’t particularly acrimonious, the odds of making a clean, clear split are in your favor. Divorce doc prep with as-needed mediation is a fast, inexpensive and relatively simple way for a couple to legally separate or divorce while still making sure nothing critical gets overlooked.

How It Works

This process is conducted exclusively offsite with the assistance of a trained mediator with backgrounds in both law and psychology through a variety of mediums such as email, online forms, telephone calls and video-conferences. Because of the largely online nature of document preparation, the couple never has to physically appear in court or even attend any potentially awkward or uncomfortable face-to-face meetings.

Who Benefits From Divorce Document Preparation?

Doc prep for divorce with as-needed mediation is intended for couples who aren’t in particularly contentious situations. It’s most effective when both parties agree on many important components of the separation or divorce, but still want a qualified, knowledgeable professional to make sure they are covering every area and not creating any hassles that may land the couple back in court at a later date.

What If Additional Questions Are Raised During Doc. Prep.?

If additional questions arise during the divorce doc prep process or if anyone involved needs additional legal information, clients are able to contact professional mediators via phone, video chat or sometimes an in-person meeting, if preferable.

Why Divorce Doc. With As-Needed Mediation is Effective

The decision to legally separate or divorce is a difficult one, and is not one that is often made without careful consideration. Both involved parties generally have a lot on their plates following a separation, and are faced with numerous important decisions, from where to move to how to emotionally move on. Divorce doc prep with as-needed mediation simplifies the process of legally separating or divorcing, so that you and your spouse are able to avoid spending time in court and paying exorbitant fees throughout the process.  You’ll also have the backing of a qualified and experienced mediator with backgrounds in both law and psychology in the unlikely event that something goes wrong.

Whether legally separating or divorcing you and your spouse will likely go through one of the most trying times of your life, but with divorce doc prep, it can be completed with far less emotional and financial cost. By having a knowledgeable and a professional mediator for guidance, you and your spouse can get through it all easily, efficiently and perhaps most important of all, affordably.
