What Is Mediation?

Mediation is a process where two people who are in the midst of a divorce or other legal dispute meet with a mediator to try and reach an agreement. The mediator is a neutral third party who helps facilitate communication and understanding between the two parties.

The mediation process can be beneficial for many reasons. It can help reduce conflict, save time and money, and allow the parties to have more control over the outcome of their case. Mediation can be the first step toward resolving a dispute, or it can be used after the parties have already started the litigation process.

Is Mediation More Effective Than Litigation?

In many cases, mediation is more effective than litigation in resolving disputes. In fact, mediation has a success rate that rivals and often beats litigation. This is because mediation allows the parties to openly communicate with each other and reach a resolution that is mutually agreeable.

Litigation, on the other hand, can be very expensive and time-consuming. It also often leads to further conflict between the parties. So if you are considering mediation, you should know that it is an effective way to resolve disputes.
