Will Washington Divorce Mediation Be A Faster Option?

A: While Washington State divorce mediation is usually a much faster process than traditional divorce, the exact length of the mediation process varies significantly by couple. Spouses who need more time to come to agreements may require more sessions than those who mostly agree with each other. Likewise, couples that need to make decisions regarding child custody or couples with more complex finances will face a longer mediation process than those who haven’t been married for very long or couples who do not have children. On average, however, mediation takes a shorter amount of time than a court divorce.
