Saving Money in Divorce with Mediation
Getting divorced? The process can be expensive and time consuming. Going to court and the use of lawyers in contested cases can run the costs into the tens-of-thousands of dollars and take years out of your life. You can save money and time with an uncontested divorce and the use of mediation.
An uncontested divorce is one where you and your spouse agree on all essential issues (property division, alimony, child support) in advance of court proceedings. If possible, you and your spouse discuss settlement terms without the assistance of lawyers. Often times, lawyers only fan the flames during divorces because of their zealous representation of their clients. By keeping the combative nature of lawyers out of it, you and your spouse can maintain control of the settlement terms and pace. Fewer lawyers equal less stress.
If possible, every couple should seek to settle their divorce in an uncontested manner. Before hiring an attorney, you should attempt to agree on as many terms concerning the divorce as possible. Even if every term cannot be agreed upon and you cannot even talk to your spouse, there is still hope to settle without combat. With mediation, you and your spouse meet with an impartial mediator who helps resolve the remaining issues. Professional mediators can help refocus your attention on the issues in a calm and controlled environment. Additionally, mediation builds on the positive and moves the divorce forward in a confidential manner.
Research has consistently shown that mediated divorces cost less in time and money, produce greater satisfaction for the parties, and are less likely to return to court for modification later. With today's economy placing more strain on our wallets, it is worth attempting an uncontested and mediated divorce.
My law practice can help you conclude your Georgia divorce quickly and with less cost than litigation. It is a better way, in my opinion, to get divorced. As a mediator, I will facilitate discussions involving your property, money, and children; these discussions will take place at a neutral location and will hopefully conclude with a settlement agreement concerning equitable property distribution, parenting plans and child support, and all other relevant issues. If an agreement is reached and signed (you always have the option of pursuing your rights with your own lawyer and in court), my firm will then file the necessary papers and the divorce can be finalized within five weeks. It is a fast, cooperative and efficient way to settle matters.
Contact my office to discuss your situation and fees. As a registered neutral with the Supreme Court of Georgia and a lawyer, I will work in a reasonable and compassionate manner to help resolve your divorce. You will find that cooperation rather than litigation usually works best for you, your spouse and children.
