Choosing a Divorce Mediator

In every divorce, there are many issues that must be agreed upon by both parties, including those surrounding property division, child custody, and spousal support. In cases where the separating couple cannot come to a mutual decision regarding these aspects, mediation is a valid alternative form of dispute resolution that has proven successful in helping many divorce cases amicably settle their issues. In mediation, a couple chooses an objective third party to help them constructively discuss the divorce proceeding and assist them in coming to an agreement. Choosing a proper mediator is perhaps the most important aspect of the mediation process, because if a couple fails to find a qualified mediator, the whole process could be rendered useless. At BB Law Group PLLC, our attorneys are dedicated to helping divorcing couples reach a common consensus regarding the terms of their divorce as quickly and amicably as possible.
