Mediation can be a great way to help divorcing couples divorce themselves. During the mediation process, they work together to develop mutually agreeable resolutions during the mediation process.
Here are the top five myths associated with mediation and the facts disproving these mistruths.
Mediation Myth #1: Mediation will allow one spouse to benefit more or enable them to dominate the terms of the divorce.
Mediation Fact #1: An experienced mediator will usually be able to pick up on any power struggles going on within the relationship and actively work to diffuse the situation. However, there are times when even the best of mediators are unable to deal with any imbalances of power if it only occurs beyond the mediation room and they're unaware of the problem.
Mediation Myth #2: Your sex typically determines whether or not you’ll be at a disadvantage during the mediation process.
Mediation Fact #2: I've heard this particular myth more times than I can count. Either sex is at no more of an advantage or disadvantage in mediation than they are in divorce court. In fact, mediation almost always results in a better outcome even if the couple does have to head to the courtroom as all of the important issues will have been previously decided and worked out ahead of time.
Mediation Myth #3: It's easier just to hire a lawyer and head to court than deal with the hassles of mediation.
Mediation Fact #3: Regardless if an attorney is needed for divorce, or if the couple chooses to hire a mediator, decision making and paperwork are still requirements of divorce. Choosing litigation instead of divorce will, in most instances, be far more expensive, and a mediator will still be able to take care of and file all of the necessary documents but do so at a much cheaper rate.
Mediation Myth #4: With mediation, the mediator is the one with the power to decide what is or isn't fair.
Mediation Fact #4: Unlike the judge or a court appointed arbitrator, a mediator has absolutely no legal power to make decisions for spouses who are getting divorced. The mediator is merely there to help negotiate the terms of the divorce and to serve as an unbiased third party while sharing their legal expertise and suggestions for a fair end to the marriage.
Mediation Myth #5: Mediation will make the divorce process even longer than it already is.
Mediation Fact #5: In most every single case, mediation takes less time than litigating a divorce in court. Since all of the important issues will have already been discussed, and the paperwork and required documents will be in place, it only makes sense that mediation will streamline and hasten the process. Mediation can be a great way to help divorcing couples divorce themselves. During the mediation process, they work together to develop mutually agreeable resolutions during the mediation process.
