The Value of Mediation in Family Law
Divorce mediation is a non-adversarial process that empowers spouses — with the guidance of their attorneys and a neutral mediator — to reach mutually acceptable agreements on divorce and other family law matters. Mediation gives parties greater control over outcomes, reduces costs, and often results in quicker, more amicable resolutions.
