In these cases, these clients do not need a mediator – they should seek a lawyer who will
shepherd the divorce settlement legally. A divorce in which a couple has already reached a
settlement does not need to go to mediation. Meditation is designed to help people settle
disputes. If the divorcing couple is not having a dispute and wants to divorce amicably, getting the
necessary legal assistance to complete the divorce is best. Simply taking the case to a court so a
judge can approve it can save the divorcing couples considerable time and money.
Divorce mediation is actually a way to settle divorcer-related disputes out of court. This option
allows people to settle their differences without much involvement from the legal system. The
mediation process is structured to minimize arguments and defensiveness. The atmosphere for
mediation is non-confrontational and encourages both parties to be logical and peaceful when
presenting their concerns. A mediator, who is a neutral third party, helps the divorcing couples
reach a peaceful agreement that they are both satisfied with.
