Mediation is Cheaper than Going to Court

One of the most economical and effective options of a divorce proceeding is choosing to mediate instead of litigate. Mediation gives a person control of the final marital settlement agreement outcome. By choosing to mediate, couples will spend less money on the costs associated with litigation. Another advantage of mediation is that an agreement may be reached much faster because both spouses work toward a consensual agreement and avoid having the lengthy delays come with having a judge decide on a martial settlement agreement.
