Divorce is a challenging but increasingly common outcome for many marriages.

Traditional divorce through the court system takes a heavy toll on family finances and on family relationships.

By contrast, a mediated divorce (or separation of unmarried parents) is almost certain to take less time and be more cost-effective than going to court. Mediation is a process that is controlled by the parties themselves, and therefore tends to provide a result that is more satisfactory to the parties, and does less damage to family relationships.

Mediation provides for mutual agreement on important goals including:

• Ongoing stability in children's lives through and beyond the separation or divorce
• Preservation of key family relationships
• Equitable property division
• Agreements regarding alimony and support

Clients who opt to resolve issues such as these through mediation appreciate the following benefits:

• They control the process of mediation with the help of a neutral third party, the mediator.
• Negotiations are handled in a safe, private environment rather than in an intimidating and stressful public family court setting.
• Couples can make joint decisions regarding custody, support and property, rather than having a judge issue an order.
• Costly legal procedures are averted.

Clients of Jennifer B. Koiles & Associates have found that divorce and child custody agreements achieved with the help of a mediator have been less financially and emotionally draining than courtroom battles.

Mediation is suitable for couples with or without minor children. It works well for couples with few assets as well as for those with significant assets.
