There are also times when it is best to avoid a lengthy court battle, because the divorce is not likely to be acrimonious. So, when is best to get divorce mediation instead of a divorce lawyer? First, if the two people involved in the divorce understand that the marriage is not working and it is time to move on, then it is for the most part, amicable. In those cases, it is unlikely that the couple involved are going to fight, so divorce mediation is a good alternative. Why? It is quite simply faster, cheaper, and a more streamlined process as opposed to when both people “lawyer up”. For people who just want the divorce to be done, because there are not any complex issues involved, this is definitely the best option.
