Massachusetts Mediated Divorce Attorney Explains Why Mediation Can Work Better

I am often asked as a Massachusetts Mediated Divorce Attorney why mediation can work better than a regular divorce.  In Massachusetts when considering a divorce the options are obtaining a lawyer or gaining a mediator.  With mediation, the advantages are that you attend a mediation session at my office in an informal setting, you have a free-flow exchange of information. You come up with an agreement that’s put down in a written form which is then filed with the court, which after a hearing is approved by the court that becomes binding upon you.  With the litigation process, a lot of the discussion concerning the divorce is in front of a judge or in a courtroom setting.  People oftentimes feel pressured or they feel like they’ve thrown their issues to somebody that doesn’t even know them to come up with results. Generally as a Massachusetts Mediated Divorce Attorney, I feel people prefer mediation because the result that is part of the mediation process is something that they’ve had a hand in crafting.
