Mediation

Mediation gives you an opportunity to resolve sensitive disputes in a confidential setting. The mediation process is a form of alternative dispute resolution during the divorce process. Mediation is a voluntary process where couples choose to enter into negotiations with the guidance of a mediator.
 
The mediation process gives both parties the opportunity to consider and discuss issues in an open and constructive manner and encourage parties to think carefully about their future choices especially when it comes to their minor children.

As your mediator I will help you both to identify any concerns, disputes and aspects to consider and call for all information necessary for you to make fully informed decisions and assist in resolving your issues.

The mediation process has many advantages over divorce litigation provided that both parties are emotionally ready to participate and make meaningful contributions towards finding solutions.

The issues to discuss will include the division of assets, the care and contact of minor children, the drafting of a parenting plan and calculation of maintenance payments.

Some of the benefits why we highly recommend mediation are as follows:

• Mediation saves time;
• Mediation is cost effective as it is less expensive than divorce litigation;
• Mediation seeks to find a workable solution by the two parties who know their situation best;
• Mediation assists the parties with communication skills that will benefit their post-divorce relationship, especially when minor children are involved.
