Divorce Mediation in Boston & MA

Why divorce mediation may work for you

Any couple who is thinking about getting a divorce probably wants to pursue it in the most cost-effective, least stressful way possible.  One option is Boston divorce mediation.  Unlike typical divorces which usually involve an adversarial method of separation and numerous court appearances, divorce mediation helps couples resolve the terms of their separation in a calm and constructive way. 

Divorce mediation means that you, your spouse, and a mediator gather to discuss any concerns that hinder the creation of separation terms agreeable to all involved parties.  Both partners may offer evidence as to why they feel the terms should be a particular way.  

Divorce mediation can help resolve disagreements over property, business interests, child custody, or spousal support without the need for an extended and costly legal battle.  Anywhere from two to four sessions are typically needed for a productive mediation intervention, and one or both partners must shoulder the cost of the service.

The role of the divorce mediator

Keep in mind that if you do choose the mediation process, your mediator does not favor one side or the other.  Instead, his or her role is to help the couple compromise, cooperate, and negotiate in order to come to mutually agreeable terms regarding the divorce.
