Mediation

When you are going through a divorce, emotions are running high enough as it is. Trials can drag on for months and cause even more trauma along the way—not to mention the costs that can add up all too quickly. Fortunately, there is a better way. Many Arlington family lawyers are now recommending mediation as an effective approach to divorce that is both lower-cost and lower-stress.

Mediation is a technique where an attorney helps both spouses come to mutually beneficial agreements. This technique stands in stark contrast to the combative nature of a trial divorce. Open communication is encouraged and cultivated, a tactic which serves to set a much better stage for the future, when future contact to negotiate matters such as visitation will be necessary. By staying out of courts and requiring only one lawyer (rather than two), mediation is also beneficial in that it keeps costs to a minimum.

During a trial divorce, many major life-changing decisions are left in the hands of a judge who has only cursory knowledge of your life or your children’s needs. This can lead to settlements that neither spouse is fully happy with, which can in turn cause further resentment later on. Mediation, on the other hand, puts you in control of your own future. With a skilled mediator to guide you and your spouse, decisions can be reached that will benefit everyone.
