When a couple is in the verge of a divorce, he/she has to consider divorce mediation as one of the best options for the significant reasons that it is less expensive than having a series of court hearings.

 

Destin, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/20/2015 -- When a person or a couple is faced with legal issues regarding their marriage and one or both decides to end the marriage, they have to undergo mediation before actually going through the legal proceedings in court.

One of the most often used forms of negotiation in a divorce settlement is through the process of mediation. In the case of seeking for divorce mediation, the spouse or their respective divorce lawyers hire a third party who will serve as the mediator. Hiring a mediator has the primary purpose of discussing and resolving all the issues in the divorce. But, mediators are the ones who make the decision, but their main purpose is to help facilitate what's best for both sides with special consideration to the best interest of the children.

When a couple is in the verge of a divorce, he/she has to consider divorce mediation as one of the best options for the significant reasons that it is less expensive than having a series of court hearings. Almost all divorce settlements can be settled peacefully with mediation, mediation is very discreet and confidential and there won't be any legal documents or public records of what has transpired during the mediation sessions and best of all, couples will be the ones to settle their own issues based on the agreement of both parties.

Even though the couple has decided to undergo mediation, it is still best to seek legal advice from a divorce lawyer Destin FL to ensure that all the elements of divorce have been taken into consideration and if the mediation process fails to settle the divorce issues because one of the parties doesn't want to settle, then, the couple would have to bring the case to court.

There are actually three options that can be taken when mediation fails: to go to court, to get back to the mediation process and try again or to continue the negotiations by yourselves.

Going to court for a divorce is really something very complicated and a very distressing experience especially for the children because couples would throw stones to the other side to have all decisions favor him/her or because they want to be awarded legal custody of the children. In this case, there would truly be a need for the services an exceptional professional divorce lawyer so that the rights of both sides especially the children are protected at all times.
