Private Mediation vs Litigation

Private Mediation vs Litigation

Navigating the waters of divorce is often challenging, but choosing the right path can make all the difference. In this blog, we’ll explore why private mediation with Paulette at Better Divorce Academy is a transformative and effective approach for those facing this life transition.

🌟 Understanding the Benefits of Mediation

Cost Savings 💰: The financial aspect of divorce is daunting. Mediation, on average, costs 40-60% less than traditional litigation. This significant saving can alleviate financial stress, paving the way for a healthier post-divorce financial situation.

Personal Control ⚖️: In mediation, you and your former partner take charge of the outcomes. This self-determination is empowering, especially when dealing with sensitive issues like parenting plans or asset division.

Confidentiality 🤐: Unlike court proceedings which are public, mediation is a private affair. This confidentiality ensures your personal matters stay just that – personal.

Preserving Relationships 🤝: Mediation, by its collaborative nature, fosters respect and understanding. This approach is particularly beneficial for maintaining positive familial ties, crucial when children are involved.

Speed and Efficiency ⏱️: Mediation is typically faster than going to court. This expedited process reduces stress and allows for quicker settlement, helping you move forward sooner.

Emotional Well-being 😌: The non-confrontational setting of mediation reduces emotional strain. This can be particularly beneficial for your mental health during such a tumultuous time.

Flexibility 🔄: Mediation sessions are more flexible in scheduling compared to court dates, making it easier to fit into your busy life.

Tailored Solutions 🧩: Every relationship is unique. Mediation offers the opportunity to create customized solutions that fit your specific circumstances, rather than one-size-fits-all court orders.

Mutual Respect 🕊️: Mediation encourages a respectful dialogue, which is often lost in adversarial legal battles. This respect can set a positive tone for future interactions, especially important when co-parenting.

Expert Guidance 🧭: With a skilled mediator like Paulette, you benefit from expert advice and facilitation, ensuring a fair and balanced process.

🔍 Mediation vs. Litigation: A Comparison

In litigation, each party typically hires a lawyer to represent them in court. This process can be lengthy, adversarial, and often more expensive. Mediation, conversely, involves a neutral third party helping you and your ex-partner reach an agreement outside the courtroom. It’s based on compromise and mutual respect, making it a less stressful and more cost-effective option.

I won the lottery in divorce.

I am the .001%

97% of divorce does not go to trial  and of the 3% that do go to trial only 1% of that 3% goes to the appellate court!

Well, that was ME.

I personally endured an 8.5 year fully litigated case that included a 12 day trial that took place over 9 months and after all that living hell…(please excuse my french)

there was a FOUR year state supreme appellate court process.

It cost a TON of money, years of my life tied up in court and it nearly destroyed me and my family.

the funny thing during this time I could barely help myself but time and time again other’s reached out to ME for help..

I called my attorney Marty (gutta remember I was born in Boston)

and told him what happening.

I asked him if I should go to law school…
he smiled and said you know Paulette you think like a judge act like a lawyer and feel like a therapist you owe it to give back and help people you my dear have experienced what 99% of people never will… that experience gives you the depth and the breath of the entire divorce process
