If you are entering into a divorce but are looking for a gentler approach, there are options and alternatives that are available to you.

The divorce mediation process is much simpler, and can save time and money for the divorcing parties. By meeting with a mediator, parties can address any issues that they are not in agreement on – such as child custody or alimony.

Benefits to Hiring an Attorney

The mediation process is considered to be a much more amicable way of dissolving a marriage than the contested divorce process. This does not mean, however, that it will be free from issues, concerns, and general disagreements. Therefore, spouses who opt to end their marriage through the process of mediation should only do so when a divorce attorney has been consulted with about the process.

Professional mediators are trained to act as methodical third-party correspondents during the process of mediation. While this is effective in preventing against unfair biases and enhancing the terms of negotiation, it does not provide you with a legal advocate whose sole purpose will be invested in preserving all of your rights. Consulting with an experienced divorce lawyer throughout the mediation process can allow you to feel more confident in the efforts being made to negotiate the terms of your divorce in Port St. Lucie.
