Are you going through a divorce? Communication between you and your soon-to-be ex-partner can be difficult then. Emotions can be high and there can be a lack of trust or understanding. A divorce mediator can then help you reach agreements by mutual consent.
What is mediation?
Mediation is a conflict resolution tool through which an accepted third party (the mediator) helps those involved to resolve a conflict in a satisfactory manner, or to make the situation more manageable. A key aspect of mediation is that there are no winners or losers. Under the guidance of the mediator, you look for solutions that are workable for both parties. By their very nature, the solutions will suit you better than any imposed on you by a court. Compared to other forms of conflict resolution (such as court proceedings), mediation also has other advantages.
Eight good reasons to opt for divorce mediation
- Mediation is an informal process. You and your soon-to-be ex-partner sit down together and talk to each other.
- Mediation is a private process. Court cases take place in public, but what you discuss during mediation stays between you, your former partner and the mediator.
- With mediation, you can have an influence on the outcome. This is not the case in court proceedings, where a judge decides.
- Mediation looks forward.
- The chances of an amendment procedure are a lot lower because you arrive at the solutions together.
- Both the emotional and the business aspects are settled in parallel.
- The cost of mediation is often a lot lower than the cost of legal proceedings. Furthermore, lengthy procedures can be avoided.
- Mediation improves the chances of you and your former partner being able to relate to each other in a normal way afterwards. This is a positive when it comes to any remaining joint interests. Schäfer Notarissen as mediators
