Divorce Mediation

Divorce Mediation Attorney in Cary

What Are the Benefits of Mediation for Divorce?

Divorce mediation is when the divorcing parties and a third party mediator trained in dispute resolution meet to resolve issues in a divorce.

The goal is to reach an acceptable agreement and produce a written memorandum on many of the major issues discussed. Divorce mediation is consensual -- you are not told by the mediator what the decision should be.

Divorce mediation is advantageous in many cases because:

  • It is not win-lose, all parties must agree to the terms.
  • It is less expensive than litigation
  • It is much quicker than going through multiple court hearings.
  • You have more input and control, rather than having a judge decide the issues for you.

For divorce mediation to be fully successful the parties must be open to settlement. They need to try to find middle ground and compromise between both parties. To prepare for mediation, you and your attorney should consider issues most important to you and your goals.

Why a Certified Mediator Makes a Difference in Cary Divorce Cases

We have an attorney trained as a Certified Superior Court Mediator. An attorney cannot be both an impartial North Carolina divorce mediator and your personal attorney. If you want us to serve as a NC divorce mediator, you must advise our office before any consultation to discuss your case.

Otherwise, we would have a conflict of interest and could not mediate between you and your spouse. As divorce attorneys, we can go to a mediation conference with you to advise you of the legal consequences of different issues discussed before you commit to a binding settlement agreement.

This is possible in all cases except court ordered custody and visitation mediation in certain counties of the state. In these counties the parties meet together alone with a court appointed mediator paid by the state.

Discover if Mediation is the Right Choice for Your Divorce in Cary

Divorce mediation is increasingly popular in family law matters. It is successful if both parties will seriously try to reach an agreement.

However, one non-cooperative party can make mediation impossible. We encourage you to explore this alternative method of dispute resolution with us if you believe it can work in your case.

One of our Cary divorce mediation lawyers at Montgomery Family Law can help decide whether mediation is right for you.

Guiding Clients Through the Mediation Process

A common challenge for families in Cary is the stress and uncertainty that accompany divorce proceedings. This is where family law mediation can really make a difference. By choosing mediation, Cary residents can sidestep extended court battles and work towards a more amicable and cooperative resolution.

Another important consideration is the impact of divorce on children. Cary’s public schools, part of the Wake County Public School System, are recognized for their high-quality education and nurturing environments. However, a contentious divorce can take an emotional toll on children, affecting their academic performance and overall well-being. Mediation allows parents to foster a more stable and less adversarial environment, which is crucial for children’s adjustment and mental health.
