In Divorce mediation, a trained neutral mediator
helps the divorcing couples to make their decisions on divorce, plan their own
lives and decide their future. Some of the issues covered in divorce mediation
are:
·
Property Distribution
·
Parenting Time and Custody of Child
·
Child Support
·
Retirement and Taxes
The
mediator helps the couple in solving above issues and arrives at a decision as
amicably as possible. The process
of divorce Mediation is highly confidential and the issues are
settled in such a way that the couple will not find it to work together as
parents even after the divorce for the well-being of the children.
The
mediation can either be court ordered or a private mediation. The court ordered
mediation is usually limited to certain issues like custody of the child and
issues over the time for visiting the child. Private mediation covers many
other issues like distribution of property. Court Ordered Mediation is usually
done at free of cost and once the mediation is over, the court is intimated about
it. Private mediations are done at a cost depending on the duration of the
mediation process and are confidential.
The
couple and the mediators meet in various sessions to resolve issues. Statistics
show that when a divorcing couple has arrived at a decision through mediation,
they stick to it and follow it as it had been mutually agreed upon. The trained
Mediators brainstorms ideas and options when the couple is stuck on a topic and
keep them focused on the issue throughout the mediation process. The mediators
ensure there is a clear communication between the divorcing couple and both of
them are allowed to speak uninterrupted and allow the party to explain or
restate a point when necessary.
