What Is Divorce Mediation?

Divorce mediation is a confidential, out-of-court process by which the parties in a dispute, assisted by a neutral family law attorney (the mediator), discuss their unique issues and options and reach mutual agreements regarding co-parenting and sharing custodial time with their children, setting child and spousal support and dividing their assets and debts.

The power to resolve these issues lies in the hands of the parties. The mediator doesn’t make decisions, dictate terms or give advice. The mediator is a guide and legal resource for the parties.

Mediation has the benefit of giving the parties control over their matter. It also has the potential to be less time-consuming and more cost-effective.

Collaborative divorce is another option that is similar to mediation. Learn about the collaborative divorce process in California.
