Mediation is a form of negotiation where a neutral third party or mediator facilitates open communication between the couple in an effort to help them resolve their disputes. It is most effective when disputes are relatively easy.
Mediation, when successful, hastens resolution compared to litigation that can go on and on. It gives control to the divorcing couple because they can choose whether to accept offers made by the other party. In addition, it saves them money because it avoids unexpected expenses that litigation can bring.
