Divorce mediation lawyers helping you reach agreements smoothly & easily

Mediation is a non-binding, private process where two parties attempt to negotiate a compromise with the help of a neutral third party. The third party, called a mediator, helps the opposing sides come to a mutually acceptable agreement. 

Mediation is a way for two parties to privately resolve disputes, but the outcome isn’t legally binding. Arbitration also offers more privacy than a court hearing or trial, but the decision is legally binding—and can’t be appealed.

The cost of mediation varies depending on the mediator’s hourly rate, how many sessions you use, and your location. Mediation is usually less expensive than going to court, and with Marble Law, you’ll always have a clear idea of the cost before you begin.

Divorce mediation is an informal process that saves time and money by avoiding an expensive, lengthy contested divorce. A mediator works with you and your attorneys to negotiate a settlement acceptable to everyone. 

The following issues are commonly resolved through mediation: 

• Division of property
• Child custody
• Division of debts
• Spousal support and child support

If everyone comes to an agreement and drafts and signs a document, the terms of the mediation settlement are usually legally binding.

The length of mediation depends on how quickly the parties can come to an agreement on settlement terms.
