Divorce Mediation Versus Hire a Lawyer & Divorce Court
The real question is divorce mediation versus divorce litigation? Rather than “hire a lawyer” because a couple CAN mediate a divorce with or without lawyers.
Many of our clients have Lawyers attend their divorce mediation sessions.
But it is never recommended to litigate a divorce without a lawyer, because the costly litigation divorce court process is a legal process that should be navigated with a lawyer.
But why would a family want to litigate a divorce when the litigation process can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000++?
Below are some comparisons of divorce mediation pros and cons:
Divorce Mediation costs $8,000 or less vs Divorce Court costs $50,000 or more++
What about divorce mediation and domestic violence?
Can a couple with this issue actually mediate? Absolutely.
Some registered mediators are specially trained and credentialed to mediate a divorce settlement with a family that has a domestic violence dynamic.
Specific measures are put into place to insure a safe environment (emotionally and physically) for the negotiations to take place, even in separate rooms if necessary.
Be sure to ask about these credentials before you choose a mediation center.
Can I get full child custody of the kids if I mediate divorce?
Nowadays the courts usually want to see both parents share equal time parenting the children when at all possible.
However, if the children have been hospitalized as a result of abuse by a parent, child protective services rather than divorce court should be handling the protection of the children.
