If your divorce is an intense conflict, divorce mediation is a peaceful resolution to reach an agreement. Rather than fighting against your spouse, you’ll work together to find terms that benefit you both. However, mediation divorce isn’t ideal for bitter divorces where spouses can’t see eye to eye.

During divorce mediation, you’ll meet with a neutral party who will help you and your spouse make decisions. You’ll discuss things such as how to split up property, assets, and debts, as well as whether one spouse will pay the other alimony (maintenance). If you have children, you’ll decide on custody and child support.
