MEDIATION OF ANCILLARY ISSUES CAN LEAD TO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

The best way to avoid and control costs during divorce is to negotiate a settlement agreement of all the ancillary issues and present it to the court for approval. Even if you don’t achieve a complete agreement, you can settle most issues and hold the remaining points over for trial. When traditional negotiations fail to resolve disputes over custody, support or property division, many couples go to mediation. Mediation offers the following benefits:


  • Reduced costs.
  • Flexible scheduling.
  • Speedier than trial.
  • Protects parties from adverse court orders.



Mediation has proven so useful that several states have enacted mandatory mediation before the court will schedule a hearing. In states where mediation is not automatic, a judge may order mediation before placing the case on the court calendar.

HOW DIVORCE MEDIATION WORKS

Forms of mediation differ slightly from state to state, but in all jurisdictions an impartial third party, the mediator, meets with the spouses to work out a voluntary agreement. Over the course of several sessions, the mediator listens to the spouses, assesses the issues before them, and guides them toward a mutually acceptable resolution.


Mediation can speed your divorce process, reduce your stress and control costs. Williams, Drexler, & Mand PC helps clients throughout California realize the full benefits of mediation.
