Divorce Mediation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Mediation is a method used in the dissolution of marriage to negotiate all facets of legally terminating a marriage. Such facets might include money, assets, spousal support, property division, child support, child custody, and more. Normally, mediation involves a group effort that includes each spouse, both of their private divorce attorneys, and a mediator. A mediator is a neutral third party that is hired to discuss, negotiate, and resolve all matters related to a divorce. Your divorce attorney can refer a certified mediator, or you can hire one personally. To learn more about mediation and divorce, review our aforementioned blog, \u201cThe Benefits of Divorce Mediation<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaborative Divorce<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

So how does mediation differ from collaborative divorce?\nWell, there are many aspects of collaborative law that separate its practices\nand methods from divorce mediation. Rather than hiring a mediator and two\nseparate divorce lawyers, collaborative divorce is an approach in which divorcing\ncouples hire a solitary collaborative divorce attorney who is specially-trained\nand experienced in collaborative practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to a mediator, a collaborative divorce attorney will\nwork with both couples simultaneously to resolve all aspects of a divorce and\nreach a settlement agreement. In contrast to a mediator, a collaborative\ndivorce lawyer can also handle all legal processes of divorce as well, and set\nall agreements and settlements into motion. It is somewhat like hiring a divorce\nlawyer and mediator in one. Couples who are divorcing amicably or wish to\ndivorce with full cooperation are well-suited for this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
