Many states now require divorcing couples (that have no history of domestic violence) to participate in an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process before litigating the terms of the divorce. This is in large part because the courts cannot effectively manage all of the divorce cases coming through the system. Mediation is a popular and highly effective ADR process that can be used to settle all aspect of a divorce including division of property, assets and debts, development of a parenting plan and determination of the need for child and/or spousal support.
The cost of mediation is significantly less than the most common alternative which involves retaining a lawyer and going through the traditional litigation process. Typically, clients who employ a mediation service can expect to pay a much lower total cost than even the least expensive court-based divorce. We also offer services that are not offered for court-based divorce proceedings. AMS Mediation prioritizes finding common ground. When you realize that the cost of mediated divorce is so much less expensive than the traditional process, you will understand why so many more couples are choosing mediated divorce.
