Our Organization
Divorce Mediation is an alternative to fighting in
Rhode Island Family Court with your spouse
through attorneys.
Instead of court, parties who decide to use
our services work with a neutral
third party mediator (or attorney) to negotiate issues concerning your
divorce (including child custody and
support, spousal support, division of assets and debts if applicable).
Divorce without court!
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MEDIATION?
You take the control of your divorce away from the attorneys.
Ultimately
you and your spouse will be making the decisions that you both will live
with, choices that will be entered in your final divorce decree. And
doesn't it make sense that you makes these decisions?
Mediation helps preserve a
'fair and honest relationship' with your spouse
thus
reducing additional tension.
If the parties have children, they typically benefit from such a
collaborative approach.
Less Costly
Typically mediation is significantly less expensive than a litigated
divorce.
If the case goes to court, the cost
is typically four times as
high -- (or more).
Mediation is
always less expensive than paying two lawyers to fight for
each spouse.
Less Time Consuming
Rhode Island Mediated divorce cases typically take considerably less time
than a litigated divorce.
Greater Overall Satisfaction
In Mediation the parties are assisted by a mediator to reach an
agreement developed by the spouses themselves, not one imposed by a
judge or the court system.
Typically those spouses who mediate their own settlement are
much more satisfied with their divorce.
In addition, children of mediated divorces may adjust better to
the divorce of their parents than children of litigated divorces.
