Does Divorce Mediation Work?

Johnson Mediation: Minnesota Divorce MediatorMany divorcing couples are concerned that mediation may not work. They are fearful that their situation may be too difficult or they may not know a lot about mediation. Although some couples are able to be fairly respectful of one another and work together in divorce mediation, this does not mean you should compare yourself to them. More than most, divorces are not this smooth. Due to things that have happened in the past, complex emotions arise and make it extremely difficult to negotiate with one another. If you are experiencing the troubles of not being able to negotiate it will be very beneficial for the two of you to go to a mediator in order to delegate.

Divorce Attorney

Divorce MediatorIf you are preparing for a divorce, you may assume that the only way to get an equitable and fair settlement is to hire a divorce attorney to represent you and your interests. But, moving ahead with litigation to settle the important aspects of your divorce may not be the only (or even the best) way forward. Litigation can be expensive and time consuming and does not often provide you with any element of control over the outcome. The court system generally decides how your assets and property are divided and how your children’s time is divided between you and your divorcing spouse.
