Lawyer Providing Mediation for Divorce and Family Law Cases in Schaumburg, IL

Family law and divorce cases can be stressful and intimidating. When decisions in these matters are left up to a family court judge, spouses or parents may be unhappy with the results. Litigation can take a great deal of time, and the costs involved can be very high. Handling cases in court can involve a great deal of uncertainty, and the parties involved may struggle to protect their rights and interests. As an alternative to litigation, people involved in family law cases may use mediation to resolve disputes, and this process can provide much more satisfactory results.

Benefits of Mediation

Mediation may be mandatory in some situations, such as when a judge orders a divorcing couple to work with a specific mediator to attempt to resolve any outstanding issues in their case. In other cases, mediation may be voluntary, and the parties involved in a family law case may agree that they will work together with a mediator to find amicable resolutions to some or all of the issues that they may need to address.

During the mediation process, the individuals involved in a case will work with a mediator who will serve as a neutral third party and facilitator as they negotiate a settlement. The mediator will help facilitate communication between the parties, provide guidance on certain types of legal issues, and work towards a resolution that the parties can agree on.

Mediation can offer many benefits over litigation in family law cases. These benefits may include:

• Saving money and time - More often than not, mediation allows divorcing spouses or others involved in family law cases to resolve matters much faster and more affordably than if their case had proceeded to trial. The expenses involved in the mediation process are usually split evenly between the two parties, and after a settlement is created, the parties can may then go to court to finalize everything legally.
• Confidentiality - Anything said by either party during mediation will remain confidential. This can provide assurance that matters can be worked out discreetly instead of needing to air disagreements publicly through litigation in court.
• Cooperation between spouses or parents - During the mediation process, the parties will be encouraged to cooperate and compromise. This may not only help them resolve their disputes amicably, but it can help them prepare to cooperate in the future when necessary. This process can be good for parents who are looking to address issues related to parenting time and parental responsibility, and it will help them set the stage for an effective ongoing relationship as co-parents.
• Control over the outcome of the case - Since all decisions made during mediation must be agreed upon by both parties, this can ensure that spouses, parents, or other family members will have control over the agreements that are put in place rather than being uncertain about whether the decisions made by a judge will meet their needs.
