Why You Should Opt for a Mediated Divorce

As in Massachusetts, the family courts in Ontario are backlogged because we’ve been conditioned to believe the divorce process has to be both litigious and expensive.

In this blog posting Gail Val-Oxlade writes why a common-sense, mediated divorce is a good idea:

• It’ll cost 75 per cent less than going to court.
• You will come to an agreement with your ex (who will be your ex for perhaps longer than you were married!)
• Your privacy is maintained. Go to court and your personal information becomes a matter of public record.
• You create a win/win. The separation agreement you come up with can be better tailored to your specific situation.
• There will be less stress on the kids.
• It’s faster. You can take years to get through the courts or be done in half the time with a mediated divorce.
• You matter. You’re not just a file number or a catalyst for billable hours. Getting you through to the next chapter whole and healthy is part of the mediation process.
