Mediation provides a roadmap for your future. The good news is that you will be the driver! Mediation is the process of talking through the tough decisions and planning and collaborating for the best outcomes for all parties involved through the aid of a trained professional mediator, who is neutral, and keeps your information confidential. Mediation can be a transformative experience allowing you to gain insight and knowledge into ways to communicate peacefully. Ultimately, the process is self-determining, meaning you are in charge.
Litigation is a legal process that requires a legal expert, a lawyer, to tell you what you should do and how to do it. The lawyer is the driver of this experience, and depending on how frequently you ask questions, that meter is running and more and more of your hard-earned money is being spent. If two lawyers are involved, that cost can double, and before you know it, you’ve spent years in court fighting it out. Frequently, so much time has passed that neither party can even recall what “it” (the cause of the fight) was to begin with.
In litigation, ultimately, if you and your partner cannot come to terms on what you want for your future, lawyers and a judge will decide for you. This means someone else made the necessary decisions to dictate your future.
