Divorce does not have to be a battle. The only reason that tends to be the case is that most people only know of one thing they can do when they decide to divorce — hire attorneys and go to court. When you do, you are starting a lawsuit, just as if you were suing a landlord for refusing to give you back your security deposit, or a big corporation for stealing your copyright.
But did you know that it is not only possible to get a divorce without ever setting foot in a courtroom? Not only is it possible, the court would prefer it that!
Fact: The happiest you will ever see a judge in his or her courtroom will be when they have just been told that a case has been removed from that day’s schedule because the couple decided to settle privately.
Unfortunately, as the burdens on our court system steadily increase, an air of mystery remains around this valuable process. In this excellent article Arianna Jeret writes about a few commonly held myths about divorce mediation, and the realities you should know.
