Divorce Mediation Saves You Money
One of the complaints that divorcing couples have is that it is expensive. A court battle involves lawyers and lots of time, which adds up quickly. Mediation is an alternative to litigation and costs significantly less.
How Mediation is Less Expensive Than Litigation
A mediator is a neutral party that helps each side work together to come up with a fair divorce agreement. It is a more collaborative process, so the end result is more equitable for both sides. It is a quicker process, which helps cut down on costs, and you do not have lawyers billing hours outside of the sessions.
How to Minimize Expenses
You can do things to decrease how much it will cost. The mediator will let you know what will be discussed during each session. The better prepared you are, the faster the sessions will go. Gather all relevant documents ahead of the sessions and think about what is most important to you and how you are willing to negotiate. Better communication between the two sides also shortens the session durations.
