Did you know that; by using attorneys to settle a dispute could cost each party in excess of $5,000? Divorcing couples can expect to shell out as much as, or more than $50,000 to complete the process. Staggering isn't it?
People inevitably seek out the assistance of an attorney, without realizing the cost factor and the possibility of a long drawn out, hostile, and highly emotional confrontation because using an attorney somehow brings a security blanket. If people would stop and think about removing their boxing gloves when negotiating, keep the accusations and name calling to themselves and not use the children as a bargaining chip (if it's a divorce) all the thousands of hard earned dollars stands a reasonable chance at staying in your pocket. Keeping one's cool and focus when reaching any kind of agreement is as essential to you, as water is to a fish or insulin is to a diabetic.
More and more, people are seeking a quicker, less expensive, more compassionate and non-confrontational way to settle their lawsuit. Enter mediation, exit attorneys and court visits. Mediation is a collaborative method in which parties in a dispute are assisted by a neutral party to voluntarily reach their own mutually acceptable solution.
Court is often seen as limiting, since it weighs heavily upon limited resources. Mediation allows an open exchange of ideas, unconstrained by the rules of evidence and the regulations and procedures that attorneys must follow. The mediation process receives structure and guidance allowing the disputants to make their own reasonable decisions in determining an equitable outcome.
