When your divorce seems to be headed towards an amicable conclusion, you may want to rely on mediation techniques to finalize it, rather than courtroom litigation.

During mediation, you and your spouse will sit down with a third-party family law attorney who acts as the mediator. Instead of fighting back and forth or allowing the third-party professional make decisions for you, the mediator is there to help you and your spouse understand what is going on, what your rights are, and what is probably the best solution for each problem you encounter.

What drives spikes in divorce?

Based on Attorney Dennis R. Vetrano, Jr.’s own research, Vetrano finds that if there’s a change in leadership in the country or if there’s a downturn in the economy, etc., these types of changes, especially those involving changes in financial decisions, greatly affect when people think it’s the right time to pull a trigger on a divorce.

Informal agreements can work but they have to start from a level of trust.

When you’re involved in any form of the mediation process, it relies on trust. Many couples who enter into mediation are excited to know that they can compromise with their spouses instead of getting into legal fights in court. This anticipation of the dissolution of their marriage should be approached with some caution, however. There are always good compromises and bad compromises, and if you are focused on just getting to a compromise, you might be selling yourself short again and again.
