Mediation as an Alternative method of Dispute Resolution
Parties facing the breakdown of their marriage have many options. Mediation is a timely and cost-effective tool in many divorce proceedings. The parties can litigate areas of disagreement before a Judge. This litigation frequently requires compliance with various rules, codes, statutes and case authorities which creates an expensive and time consuming endeavor. Litigation is conducted in the open public court room and the written claims and arguments are filed in publicly available court files. Many parties are increasingly seeking to resolve their disputes through confidential mediation.
