Palm Springs Urgent Divorce Mediation

We are very aware that sometimes individuals and couples are looking for an urgent divorce. While mediation helps expedite the process, it is important to not rush the divorce in order to make sure the agreement is set and the paperwork done properly.

If both parties are in agreement the divorce process can be done much quicker as there shouldn’t be too much to negotiate. Here at A Fair Way Divorce Mediation we understand that you both want to move on with your lives and our goal is to help you do this in the most cost-effective and efficient way.

Mediation or Litigation?

Couples go the mediation route as opposed to the litigation route for various reasons including:Cost, No Court, Time, and Stress.

Unlike a traditional divorce lawyer, mediation represents BOTH parties and doesn’t take sides. Our primary goal is to hear each side out and work as the go between for communication to help come to a peaceful agreement.With a traditional lawyer, things can get dragged out for months on end and billable hours continue to pile up, often leaving each side with a hefty overall final bill.

Time

With a traditional divorce, it can take quite some time for each party to go through their lawyers and the back and forth to come to an agreement. I’m sure you’ve heard stories of divorce cases often lasting a year or more to settle.

During a divorce mediation, time plays an important role in the process. There is one point of communication that can help cut back on the time spent for each side to discuss with a lawyer and wait for the others response. The mediator will provide the go between and understands the divorce does not need to be a drawn out scenario.

No Court

Besides the costs of a traditional divoce which is discussed below, is that one of the biggest reasons couples use divorce mediation is that they don’t have to go to court. This can often cause stress and anxiety, and can often leave the final judgement in the judges hands. Typically one party leaves this scenario very unhappy.

With Mediation, each party gets to have their say without going to court. This can help alleviate the stresses of court and leaves the decision of your lives out of the judges hands. This also saves a lot of time having to show up to continuous court dates to argue the case out.

Cost

This is the biggest reason that couples choose divorce mediation. With a divorce mediator, the average cost of a divorce is about $3,000 to $7,000. There can be situations where there are a lot of major items to discuss such as custody, property resolution, spousal support and more. But the average cost stays right around that price.

With a traditional divorce lawyer the costs can exceed $15,000 and up from beginning to end. We’ve all heard the stories of a drawn out divorce that ended up costing each party thousands of dollars.
