Mediation works in some circumstances, for some couples, because it's voluntary. At any point, you or your spouse can stop the mediation process. Many divorcing couples stick it out because it helps get to resolutions more quickly.
Research has shown that those who went through the mediation process were more satisfied with the end results. It eliminates time spent arguing and can prevent unnecessary trips to the courthouse. Mediation, like Virginia collaborative divorce, puts control where it belongs, in the hands of you and your spouse. This can also be the first step in learning how to deal with one another as a divorced couple, especially if you still have children that need to be raised. Is Mediation Right For Me? Mediation is not right for every situation, or for every divorcing couple. You may be wondering if mediation will really work for you. Some experts believe that mediation can put a woman at a disadvantage, while others have found the process to be more satisfactory than a court situation. If you have felt threatened or bullied by your spouse during your marriage, there is a good chance that mediation will not be a fruitful journey for you.
In less hostile situations, mediation can help when considering non-legal factors by facilitating smooth discussion. If your mediation is not court-ordered, you also have the right to stop the mediation process if you are unsatisfied. You can-and should-refuse to sign any agreements that don't meet your expectations.
