Non-Confrontational Approaches to Divorce
Divorce Mediation
Mediation is a popular method for resolving practical issues surrounding divorce and separation, such as child arrangements and financial settlements. It provides a non-confrontational alternative to court proceedings, allowing you to control the outcome.
Typically, this involves three to five meetings with a trained mediator who facilitates discussions and helps you and your spouse reach agreements.
Mediation is generally quicker and less costly than court, helping to maintain amicable relations, which is especially beneficial when children are involved.
Collaborative Law
Collaborative law is another effective alternative, particularly when complex issues need addressing. Each spouse has their own legal representative present during discussions to provide guidance and support.
This process typically involves a series of four-way meetings with both parties and their lawyers, and additional professionals—like accountants—can join if necessary.
While collaborative law may be more expensive than mediation, it remains significantly cheaper and faster than court proceedings, with the added confidence of having legal support throughout.
