Why Choose Mediation
In a traditional divorce, the parties hire their own attorneys at a cost of thousands of dollars, spend a year or more in court arguing over custody, visitation and financial issues, at a cost of thousands of dollars more, and in the process totally destroy any chance they had to peacefully coparent the children they both love. Not only do they lose, but their children lose. And ultimately, by engaging in the litigation trap, they have practically bankrupted themselves and, even worse, allowed a guardian and a judge to make the most important family decisions they will ever face. Afterwards, not only do they have to live with the decisions others made for them and their family, they do so in a hostile environment. Again, the parties lose and the children lose.
Having been a Chancery Court Judge for 36 years, presiding over thousands of divorce actions, and having gone through a divorce myself, I can say without hesitation, divorce is extremely difficult. It doesn't matter if you've been married 30 days or 30 years, divorce is a difficult process; mentally, spiritually, physically and financially. And our court system has a way of making it even more difficult than it should be. The time involved and the expense of a contested divorce action compound the stress and drama brought about by the separation and the divorce.
The litigation trap invariable leads to anger, frustration, hostility and an impossible coparenting environment. Having been through all of that, having seen all of that for the last 47 years, I know that there is a better way.
That’s why I developed Modern Divorce Mediation, a confidential process that allows parties to be in control. Modern Divorce Mediation is faster, less expensive, less hostile and prepares the parties to be better coparents for their children. It’s the modern way to begin your future, and the future of our family.
