Divorce mediation is a way for couples who are seeking a divorce to talk through all of the issues that they need to resolve with a neutral person (the mediator) in order to reach agreements about the terms of their divorce rather than going to court to litigate their divorce. The mediator helps guide the discussions about the decisions that may need to be made about children, schedules, the allocation of marital property, the creation of support agreements, and other important family matters. With the help of a mediator, couples can resolve their differences and avoid litigation in court, which enables couples to design divorce agreements that work best for them.
