By working with an experienced divorce mediator, you can avoid these common pitfalls. An experienced mediator will raise questions on parenting, asset distribution, child and spousal support that you may not have even considered. In fact, money spent now on a mediator may save you money down the road – you don’t want to end up having to hire an expensive attorney to clarify or modify your initial agreement.
The divorce mediation process also helps by creating a structure for reviewing the different issues, which helps you move forward to a satisfying conclusion. Without the input of a third party, many couples may get stuck in an argument, and wind up rehashing old complaints. Or at times, they procrastinate, slowing down the process and their ability to move forward with a new life. A skilled divorce mediator ensures that the couple keeps advancing toward a resolution that works for them and their families.
