What Is Divorce Mediation?

Divorce mediation is a process where a neutral third-party mediator facilitates communication and negotiation between divorcing spouses to help them reach mutually agreeable solutions on various issues related to their separation. Signing the mediation document by both parties creates a legally binding agreement.

Divorce Mediation vs. Traditional Litigation: When Do You Need A Mediator?

Opt for mediation if you seek a less contentious, cost-effective, and time-efficient approach to divorce proceedings. A mediator is invaluable when you and your spouse are willing to communicate openly and work together to find solutions.

Mediators are beneficial when you want to maintain a respectful relationship with your former spouse, especially if children are involved, or when you desire more control over the outcome of your divorce in Philadelphia compared to leaving decisions solely in the hands of a judge.

How Much Does Divorce Mediation Cost in Philadelphia?

Mediators in our office charge for their services by the hour. Please call to discuss our rates and process.

Know that divorce mediation is quicker and far less expensive than litigating your divorce issues in court, which involves you each paying your own attorney to represent you as well as court filing fees.

Do You Need A Divorce Lawyer for the Mediation Process?

That is your choice. With the help of your third party professional mediator, you and your spouse craft acceptable solutions to all of the issues arising from your divorce and then file a final agreement with the court.

Is Divorce Mediation Right For Your Family?

Occasionally someone who is going through divorce mediation tentatively agrees to a resolution but has lingering concerns it does not serve them or their family well. In these cases, this party should consult their own divorce attorney and review the agreement with them.
