Mediation Expert: Controlling The Impulse To Fight Can Save Heartache & Money

Here’s something to think about: when you choose litigation instead of mediation for your divorce, you are putting extremely important decisions about your family and future finances into the hands of a judge – a judge who might not fully understand your situation. While mediation can be a struggle – and while working with your spouse can be very difficult – it also offers you and your partner a unique chance to come to the best solution for your family. In addition, mediation allows you to bypass some aspects of court divorces that many believe are unfair, such as the perceived bias against fathers.

Divorce mediation might not be right for everyone in Washington State, but for many, it is a faster and less expensive option that gives you and your former partner the opportunity to divide your property and decide on child custody in a private but still controlled manner.
