Mediate Michigan

Here’s what you need to know about mediation:

1. Many divorce cases are suitable for mediation even when there is ongoing conflict; even when trust is damaged from an affair.

2. Mediation can involve just one mediator and be low-cost, or can involve outside experts such as an accountant, a financial advisor, and consulting attorneys. You decide what you need and what you can afford.

3. Other than doing your divorce yourself, mediation is often the least expensive and fastest way to get divorced. It is the most “hands-on” and you control the process. Perhaps for this reason, couples rarely have “mediation regret” — even in cases where no agreement was reached.

So your real task, when considering mediation, is to check for any compelling reason NOT to mediate — the “red flags.” If any of these factors exist in your situation, mediation may not be right for you.
