Mediation
What Is Divorce Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary process in which both parties hire one neutral mediator to help them resolve their differences and reach a comprehensive settlement agreement. Mediation can be a less stressful process because a trained mediator utilizes techniques to minimize conflict and help both parties make decisions together that are in the best interest of the family.
Greenblatt Law LLC’s attorneys are highly trained in these conflict resolution techniques and work to guide clients toward thoughtful, balanced outcomes.
Benefits of Mediation
Mediation gives couples the power to make decisions for themselves, rather than having a judge decide important aspects of their lives in court. This approach often leads to more personalized and mutually agreeable outcomes.
Mediation can also help preserve relationships, which is especially important when children or ongoing co-parenting are involved.
It is often:
- Less stressful
- More collaborative
- More cost-effective than litigation
- Focused on long-term family outcomes
What to Expect During the Mediation Process
Mediation is conducted through a series of meetings. Some sessions may include both parties together, while others may be held separately if the mediator determines that doing so will create a more comfortable and productive environment.
Our mediators have the experience needed to guide the process efficiently while minimizing tension and helping both parties move toward resolution.
Do You Need an Attorney During Mediation?
During mediation, it is recommended that each spouse retain their own attorney to guide and advise them throughout the process. This attorney is often referred to as a “review attorney.”
We have significant experience serving in this role, helping clients understand their rights and ensuring that any agreement reached is fair and in their best interest.
Is Mediation Right for You?
We often suggest mediation before litigation as a less difficult and more cost-effective path to resolution. However, mediation is not appropriate in every situation.
For example, mediation may not be suitable in cases involving power imbalances, lack of transparency, or certain high-conflict dynamics.
If you are unsure whether mediation is the right choice, Greenblatt Law can help you evaluate your options and determine the best next step.
