Why Choose Mediation for Your Divorce?
Mediation is a process in which two parties sit down to resolve a problem with the help of a skilled facilitator. A mediator doesn’t choose sides or make decisions. A mediator in a divorce helps a couple to move forward by keeping discussions focused and asking questions that help to identify and resolve conflicts.
The mediation process is informal and flexible. Each spouse gets a chance to have a say and be heard in an environment that is much more relaxed than a courtroom. Mediation also cuts down on the number of people involved in a divorce, allowing fewer cooks to spoil the broth. Mediation allows the divorcing couple to end their marriage on their own terms.
Mediation can resolve issues such as:
- Division of marital assets
- Child custody and visitation
- Child support
- Spousal support.
In most North Carolina counties, couples are required to enter mediation about child custody and division of assets before their divorce is heard in court. Participation is mandated, but the law cannot require or guarantee a successful outcome.
The lawyers of Charles R. Ullman & Associates are trained to listen and understand each spouse’s needs and then present options that reflect the couple’s desires. We know how to ensure an equitable discussion that prevents one spouse from dominating the proceedings. In the few cases where it is appropriate, we will put an end to discussions if we believe mediation is not the proper path for you.
A divorce agreement developed in mediation is not binding and must be approved by the court. Either spouse may challenge the agreement’s contents in court, but this is less likely since both spouses helped to draft it.
