Divorce Lawyers in Fayetteville NC Promotes Mediation Over Traditional Divorce

Share this news:

Mediation provides numerous benefits over traditional divorce proceedings.

The cost of a divorce varies greatly within the state of North Carolina. According to eHow, an uncontested divorce, on average, costs anywhere from $115 to $300, while divorces requiring court involvement run anywhere from $8,187 to $132,600. These figures fail to account for time missed from work and other expenses incurred, such as the cost of child care when the divorcing spouses must appear in court. Mediation helps to reduce these costs significantly.

"Mediation tends to be the quickest process for divorcing parties, helping to keep costs down, and offers the parties more control over what is ultimately decided. Both must agree to the mediator before proceeding, and he or she must be a neutral third party, although there is no requirement stating the mediator must be an attorney," Adriaan Rossouw of Divorce Lawyers in Fayetteville NC (http://www.divorcelawyersinfayettevillenc.com) explains.

The mediator oversees a mediation hearing, one where both parties, along with their attorneys, work to come to an agreement. The mediator often starts by determining which issues are not at play as both parties are in agreement as to what should happen. Often, when an area of disagreement arises, the mediator works with all present to brainstorm solutions in an attempt to find one agreeable to all. His or her goal is to keep the lines of communication open with the hope being this will continue once the divorce is finalized.

"Some question the benefits of mediation as they worry issues won't be resolved using this method. Although some find they can't come to an agreement on all issues, mediation often leads to an agreement on some issues, simplifying the divorce process. What really makes this method so successful, however, lies in the fact that both parties have more say over what happens, rather than having a person of the court, one not familiar with all facts of the case, make these decisions based on impersonal and rigid legal principles," Rossouw continues.
