There is an increasing pressure for New Jersey spouses to settle divorce cases, and 98% of divorces in our state settle before trial. Because of this pressure, working with an experienced attorney who has experience with divorce mediation techniques can be critical to your success.
Mediation Can Reduce the Cost of Divorce
Going to trial can be very expensive. In addition to court costs and legal fees, resolution of issues in a divorce at trial can require the testimony of professional accountants and child psychologists to achieve the best possible results.
Mediation can reduce these costs by helping spouses resolve matters before litigation expenses escalate. Mediation often involves just two attorneys and a mediator settling matters in a single session.
Mediation Can Give You Greater Control Over the Results of Divorce
A divorce must resolve many issues: child custody and visitation, child support, alimony and division of marital property. Mediation allows you to decide which options work best for you through compromise and honest discussion with your spouse. Often, this gives you more control over the results than depending on a judge's decision at trial.
If you are considering divorce mediation, talking to a lawyer is the best way to learn your options. Schedule a free initial consultation with attorney Daniel K. Newman by calling our South Jersey law office at (856) 309-9007, (877) 309-9007 or completing our online form.
