The Decision is Yours
A major benefit of divorce mediation is that you both will decide the outcome of your divorce, NOT the court. While A Fair Way Mediation will help play an objective 3rd party in the negotiations, the decision is ultimately up to you, not a judge.
Divorce Cost
Divorce lawyers are expensive! Each side has to get hteir own lawyer and there will be a lot of costs associated with this decision. Each side will fight over every issue and the lawyers will only have their clients' best interests at heart, NOT the overall situation for each of you. Fees can easily exceed $20,000+ for each of you. A divorce mediator, depending on the complexity ranges from around $3,000 - $6,0000 on average.

A Fair Way Mediation will not only facilitate the process but also help you fill out the paperwork correctly with the final agreement to be submitted to the courts.
Benefits of Mediation
There are a variety of reasons to choose mediation over litigation, but the 2 most common benefits why couples choose mediation include:
Cost Savings
Many couples choose mediation over the litigation route because of the affordable costs. With litigation, each side has to get their own lawyer and these fees can easily exceed $25,000+ (per person), depending on how long it will take for lawyers to negotiate. Couples often aren't aware the fees they are being charged by a lawyer until the process is complete and can be blindsided by a bill that exceeds what they were expecting. Mediation is a straightforward approach with no hidden fees. The average cost of a mediated divorce ranges between $3500 - $7500 depending on the complexity of the case and the couple's ability to communicate effectively. This fee is also split between the couple which makes it a very cost-effective solution.
No Court
Divorce can already be stressful, and having to go to court can make this stress grow. With mediation, all discussions and agreements are settled out of court. Once the agreement has been finalized, the couple will submit the paperwork to the court for review and approval. Another disadvantage when couples go to court is that the proceedings become public record, but with divorce mediation all discussions and the final agreement are kept private.
Faster Resolution
Unlike traditional litigation, which often leads to lengthy court battles, mediation creates a more efficient path towards resolution. By engaging in open dialogue facilitated by a neutral mediator, couples can address their concerns directly, negotiate terms, and reach agreements quickly. This expeditious process not only saves valuable time but also minimizes the emotional toll and financial strain typically associated with prolonged courtroom proceedings.
