Divorce Lawyer in San Deigo Examines Benefits of Mediation
/EINPresswire.com/ SAN DIEGO - According to a recent study conducted by the American Sociological Association, many couples - especially lower income couples- choose long-term separation instead of divorcing because of the expense.
In light of these recent findings, divorce lawyer in San Diego John Griffith discusses why he recommends his clients try divorce mediation, a cheaper choice to enduring a divorce in court.
What is mediation?
Divorce mediation requires three people: the divorcing couple and a mediator—typically a family lawyer. The lawyer is a neutral facilitator that supervises the couple's divorce settlement. A client and their spouse can confer on their own the needs that must be addressed. An legal professional can meet with clients to counsel them through the legal process.
"Mediation is a good alternative to divorce, even for couples where the tensions are strong," said Griffith, a Carlsbad attorney and divorce attorney in Encinitas.
What are the benefits of mediation?
Mediation costs less. Mediation helps clients avoid the costs of typical divorces settled in the courtroom. These expenses include the cost of court time, depositions and court orders, according to the article "How To Decrease Dollar Drain of Divorce" in the Minuteman News Center.
Decisions are made by the couple. The judge determines the settlement for the divorcing couples, in a courtroom case. The couple settles on their own terms with the assistance of an attorney via mediation.
Mediation takes less time. Couples going through the conventional courtroom divorce, constantly go between lawyers and the courts. That will not only cost them financially, but also require more time. Mediation simply mandates that clients meet at a time works for them and their spouse; clients bypass the courtroom and begin the settlement.
Mediation is a cost-effective option for lower-income couples or couples avoiding a courtroom battle. Clients and their spouse can reach solutions meeting their unique needs, by having an active role in their divorce settlement.
