Understanding Divorce and Divorce Mediation
Divorce can be a difficult and painful life event and often puts a divorcing couple in an adversarial postion. Divorce mediation is a less stressful and less expensive alternative to litigation in which couples are the designers of their own divorce agreement. At Meadow Pond Mediation, a certifed divorce mediator will help couples reach a fair and equitable agreement based on their particular circumstance.
What is divorce mediation?
Divorce mediation is an effective and amicable process for couples seeking a divorce. In divorce mediation, the two divorcing parties jointly meet with a certified mediator to work toward resolving the issues in their divorce. In other words, the divorcing couple is the designer of the agreement with the mediator serving as an objective non-bias third party.
