Mediation

If you choose mediation over litigation. You and your spouse will meet with the mediator who is a neutral third party to tackle and settle your divorce-related disputes.

This option typically costs less money and takes less time to reach a resolution.

However there are some downsides.

These mediation meetings typically occur in a casual office environment, although there's also the option to conduct your mediation over zoom.

This means you and your spouse have to be in the same space, be it online or in person, so you can go over out the issues, such as child custody, financial divisions, status of the family home and more.
