Online Divorce Mediation Basics
Online divorce mediation can be an alternative to lengthy, public court battles. A divorce mediator can assist with a settlement agreement on issues like property division, child support and child custody, and more. In most states, couples can then file the settlement with the court as a “no contest” divorce, simplifying the procedures and costs associated with filing for divorce. Online divorce mediation offers a number of advantages, including:
- lower cost,
- freedom to make informed decisions,
- control, and
- communication.
You and your spouse control the outcome of online divorce mediation, not the courts.
For online divorce mediation to be successful, it’s important that both spouses engage in good faith. Mediation will likely not be successful if one spouse is more interested in harming the other spouse than resolving disputes over property or child custody arrangements. If both spouses engage in good faith, though, mediation can save significant time and money for both spouses.
