Benefits of Divorce Mediation
FIVE KEY BENEFITS OF USING MILLER MEDIATION
- SAVES YOU A LOT OF MONEY
Many attorneys are very expensive costing both parties lots of money. A long, drawn out case can quickly add up to excessive expenses. With Miller Mediation both parites pay one flat fee and you decide your outcome, not an attorney or judge. - LESS STRESS ON YOU & YOUR FAMILY
Without the confrontational nature of a litigation, especially one that is often seen in a custody battle, parents are able to work out custody issues with their child’s best interests in mind. Miller Mediation is there to help keep the focus on respectful and productive dialogue, and keep the peace during a time that is usually heated and emotion-filled, which often leads to the process getting stuck as parties attack each other. - PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY
In a litigated divorce, any and all documents submitted are considered public records. Miller Mediation offers privacy and confidentiality with your private information. Depending on numerous factors, including a personal preference for privacy, parties may want to use mediation to stay out of the public eye, or at least keep their personal information out of public record. - FASTER PROCESS
Because the courts are heavily flooded with cases, the speed of a litigated divorce process is often at the mercy of the court’s schedule availability, which usually leaves huge gaps of time between court dates, sometimes as much as 6-12 months. This not only drags the process on, it also leaves a lot of time for increased conflict, as parties can get anxious and impulsive, feeling as if they have been forgotten, and the need to take control. However, using Miller Mediation, the process is controlled by you. Most cases can be completed in 10 hours or less of mediation completed in less than a month total time. - DETERMINE YOUR OWN FUTURE
With Miller Mediation you discuss and agree on the terms and conditions of your future. Don’t leave that up to anyone else to decide for you.
In mediation, spouses maintain control of their agreements.
In litigation, a judge makes the final determinations.
