Divorce mediation is a voluntary and confidential process that allows couples to reach agreements on various aspects of their divorce or separation with the help of a neutral third party. If you're considering divorce mediation, it's essential to understand how the process works clearly. In this blog, we will explore the steps involved in divorce mediation, providing valuable insights into what to expect.
 

Divorce and separation can be incredibly challenging, not only for the couple involved but also for the entire family. Traditional litigation can often exacerbate conflicts and strain relationships in such situations. Fortunately, family mediation offers a more constructive and peaceful alternative. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of family mediation for divorce and separation, helping you understand why it can be the right choice for you and your family

Going through a divorce or separation can be an overwhelming and emotionally challenging time for any couple. Untangling lives, assets, and emotions can often feel like an uphill battle. That's where a skilled and experienced divorce mediator can make a world of difference.
A divorce mediator is a neutral third party who assists couples going through a divorce in reaching mutually agreeable solutions to their disputes and issues. A divorce mediator's role differs from that of a lawyer or judge. Instead of advocating for one party's interests, a mediator acts as a facilitator, guiding the couple through the divorce process and helping them make decisions together. The mediator primarily promotes collaboration, reduces conflict, and fosters a cooperative environment.

Divorce mediation can be a more amicable and cost-effective alternative to traditional divorce proceedings. The mediator assists the couple in identifying and discussing various aspects of their divorce, such as parenting plan, visitation schedules, property division, maintenance, and other relevant issues. In this blog, we will discuss the qualities you should look for in a divorce mediator to ensure you have the best possible maintenance during this difficult time.
 

The decision to get a divorce is a very difficult one regardless of the state you live in or your circumstances. You have many options and it is important to understand which process is most appropriate for your situation. Choosing to mediate your divorce vs. litigation can be a challenging one if you do not know the differences between the two. During a consultation with one of the mediators at C.E.L. & Associates, Inc, we explain in non “legalese” terminology everything you need to know to help you make an informed decision. The first step to obtaining an optimal result for your family as you start the divorce process is choosing the right process. To help you make this decision, we have compiled a list of the advantages and disadvantages of both processes. 

Trying to navigate a marriage that has sadly broken down can be emotionally and financially challenging for both partners and their families. Therefore it’s always wise to attempt to mediate rather than getting divorced with attorneys in court. However, many misperceptions mislead clients into believing that divorce mediation may not be productive, which cannot be further from the truth.

Divorce can be complicated, especially when there are children involved. Though our role in a divorce is to help our clients reach good parenting and financial agreements, we start out by making sure our clients are ready to start the mediation process and the ultimate legal dissolution of their relationship.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020, mediation and court proceedings are being held mostly via Zoom. We have found that meeting with clients exclusively via Zoom has shortened the time it takes to mediate a divorce.
