When is Mediation Law Right for Me?

Mediation is a fast, effective and an economic method of dispute resolution but it isn’t for everyone. You should consider Mediation if;

 

• You are looking for an affordable divorce,

• If you do not want to draw out your divorce proceedings over a long period,

• If you want to end your marriage amicably,

• If you are considering joint parenting,

• If you want to make your divorce easier on your children,

• If you want more control over your decisions.

 

However, mediation may not be the right fit for you if the following is true;

 

• You are expecting a long drawn out custody battle,

• If either of you refuses to show flexibility on your position,

• If either of you is taking a position based on “principle only”,

• In some cases of intimate partner violence where the power balance can’t be rectified through other means.
