When collaborative divorce isn’t an option, mediation steps in as a powerful tool for resolving disputes. Here’s what you should know about mediation in divorce cases:
- Neutral Facilitation: Mediation is led by a neutral third-party, often a lawyer or former judge, who helps both parties reach a mutually agreeable resolution.
- Private vs. Court-Ordered Mediation: Private mediation is confidential and happens outside the court system. Court-ordered mediation is typically required for child custody disputes in California and may not always be confidential.
- Flexibility and Confidentiality: Discussions and offers made in private mediation cannot be used against you in court. This ensures a safe space for open negotiation.
- When is Mediation Necessary?: It depends on the case’s complexity. For straightforward, amicable divorces, simple offer letters might suffice. However, more complex cases benefit from the structured environment of mediation.
- Efficient Settlements: Sometimes, settlements can even be reached via email without formal mediation, streamlining the process further.
Mediation offers a respectful and confidential setting to resolve conflicts, often leading to faster, less stressful outcomes.
