Divorce Mediation Trends in 2024
Divorce mediation has become much more accepted and popular over the last several decades. Many states, including Minnesota actually encourage couples to use mediation or another dispute resolution technique before going through the courts to settle the terms of a divorce. The mediation process is based on the core premise that finding areas of compromise can allow a divorcing couple to make decisions about settling the terms of divorce in a way that are less contentious, less stressful and potentially more positive and productive than litigation.

Communication with your ex is extremely important as you navigate drop off and pick up times, changes to a custody agreement and important information about decisions that need to be made quickly. Mediation is ideally suited for communication between co-parents.
