Mediation

Mediation is an alternative to divorce that offers couples a chance to take control of their separation and minimize the time and money spent on a divorce.  In addition, mediation often gives people the chance to work with their former spouse to come to an agreement about important family matters.

The Raleigh mediation attorneys of the Marshall & Taylor Law Office understand that mediation is a desirable option for many couples and are prepared to help you resolve important issues and move on with your life.  If you are considering a separation and would like to discuss mediation options, do not hesitate to contact our offices at 919-833-1040.

The Benefits of Mediation

Rather than appealing to the judgment of a court system, mediation allows separating spouses to take charge of the division of assets, child custody issues, alimony, and any other potentially complicated issues.  Mediators serve as non-biased professionals and are present to help the couple reach a satisfactory agreement.

The benefits of mediation include:

• Low cost because the couple shares one mediator (rather than hiring two separate attorneys) and a streamlined process that may require only a few sessions.
• You remain in control of the divorce process.  Both individuals work with each other and the mediator to make sure that all concerns are addressed.
• Shortened timeline for resolution.  In some cases, the divorce process may  take months to reach a resolution, whereas mediation may be a matter of weeks.
• You and your spouse have final say in all aspects of the separation, and do not have to leave important decisions to a judge.
