QUESTION: I would like to get a mediator for my divorce, but I am not sure if this is the best for my situation. What are the benefits of having a mediated divorce versus a contested divorce? Does it make the process any easier if I hired a mediator?
MY RESPONSE:
The benefit of a mediated divorce is that, if successful, it avoids the adversary experience, stress and expense of a litigated divorce.
The mediator needs to be jointly hired by the parties, and represents neither party.
Each party should still retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to advise him/her, since the mediator should be independent and unbiased, and cannot provide legal advice to either party.
