We have made a commitment to guide our clients through the divorce process with the least amount of emotional trauma as possible.
When most people say “I do,” they really mean it. But there are times when even the best intentions can’t make things turn out the way that you want them to. If you are finding that you can’t keep your vows intact, and it is time to seek a divorce in Missouri, you may be wondering if divorce mediation is the right type of resolution for your divorce.
Understanding Divorce Mediation
Divorce mediation is about you and your partner deciding what is best for both you and your children. Lawyers are necessary when there is a dispute about child custody, or if the marriage is ending on a bad note and you feel the need to protect yourself. But for those who either don’t have children or a whole lot of combined property, mediation might be the best solution. Even for those who aren’t sure they can figure out a solution, a mediator can aid with better communication and help take the emotion of out of a divorce and make the process easier.
How Does Mediation Work?
A mediator is a facilitator that helps married couples reach a settlement agreement that both parties can live with. They work through negotiation. Their primary goal is not just to make one party happy, but rather to find a “happy medium” that both parties can feel satisfied with.
