| Mediation is Voluntary. That open and free exchange of information frees up both spouses to negotiate with each other in confidence. Because both spouses are working with the same base of information, it usually takes far less time to negotiate a resolution that makes
sense to both spouses. It continues only for so long as all three of you - you, your spouse, and the mediator -- want it to! Your mediator has to have a good reason to withdraw. You or your spouse can withdraw from mediation at any time, for a good reason, a bad reason, or no reason at all! |

| People often ask, "Does mediation really work?" In a word, YES!. We know from years of research that when you compare couples who have mediated their divorce with couples who go through an “adversarial divorce”, Mediating couples are more likely to be satisfied with the process and the results, likely to take less time and
spend less money, and are less likely to go back to court later to fight about something.
The main advantage of mediation is that it keeps you and your spouse in control of your own divorce. That can make all the difference in your recovering from your divorce and moving on with your life. Mediation allows the two of you to get through your divorce with less conflict than you would experience in an adversarial divorce.
Because mediation is all about working with shared knowledge, mediation also often allows you and your spouse to work together to lower your tax bill . . . and that can often translate to more money for you.
