Why Mediate with Scott?
Healthy Amicable Divorce Solutions
Mediation is a confidential, voluntary process in which participants discuss their needs and concerns. With the assistance of a Family Law Mediation Attorney, using problem-solving techniques, they agree on the issues and create their own solutions. Mediation allows parties to decide what’s important and, ultimately, what’s the best outcome of the dispute.
Although the benefits vary depending on the nature of the dispute and the mediation model used, the following are some common benefits: divorce litigation costs much more than mediation, mediation can be completed in one or several sessions as compared to litigation which can sometimes take years to complete, and mediation can be scheduled around your calendar unlike litigation which is at the mercy of the court’s calendar.
