WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
DECATUR DIVORCE MEDIATION LAWYER
Divorce mediation in Alabama is a process for obtaining an agreement on child custody, property division, support and child visitation. A divorce mediator is neutral and doesn’t “work” for either parent. That means the mediator can not give advice to either party, they must remain neutral no matter what the situation. If a spouse were looking for this kind of one-sided support however, they’re best looking into specialist lawyers to assist them with this instead. The purpose of a mediator is not to try and get both parents back together. Divorce mediation is about you and your soon to be ex-spouse deciding what is best for both of you and most importantly, your children. In mediation, you and your spouse meet with a neutral third party, the mediator, and with their help, you work through the issues you need to resolve so the two of you can end your marriage as amicably and cost effective as possible. Often it is really the first opportunity since the separation for both parents to sit down and try to work out an agreement on how to raise their children. Depending on where the divorce takes place, both parties will need to know the laws of the state they are getting divorced in, to make sure they are upholding them.
Sometimes agreements come easy, sometimes they take time to work through. When agreements are hard to reach, that is when the mediator intervenes to keep the lines of communication open and assist the couple in their decision making process. Mediators help keep the couple focused on the issues at hand, trying not to get them off track. Mediation is flexible and confidential. It gives you and your spouse a way to settle the conflict between you in a way that helps you to work together as parents. This is extremely important if you have children and must interact with your ex-spouse after you are divorced.
