Over 90 percent of all family law cases settle without going to trial, but not all settlements are good settlements. Some result from exhaustion, fear, or simply caving-in. That’s always a mistake. The beauty of mediation is that you can achieve a better, well-considered, longer lasting agreement that works best for you and your children--and one far less likely to involve post-decree disagreements and expensive hearings.
If done correctly and with a skilled mediator, mediation is faster, cheaper, less stressful, and yields better results for you. In short, it consistently keeps more assets and income in the pockets of both parties.
