Divorces are unfortunate and sometimes messy, and when they go through the court system in Pleasanton, Concord, Danville, Palo Alto, Santa Rosa, San Jose, CA, and the surrounding areas, they are also public, can be expensive, and slow. Affordable divorce mediation from Sugarman & Company is an effective alternative that many people either haven’t heard of or haven’t tried. When compared with the more traditional option of court divorce proceedings, divorce mediation provides a less expensive, confidential, and generally faster resolution to a divorce. While the same topics will be discussed, and agreement is the end goal, how to get there is very different in affordable divorce mediation compared to the alternatives. Find out what makes divorce mediation so different and why so many people are choosing our team to handle them.

What Makes Divorce Mediations Affordable
What makes them affordable? How about considering a single mediator instead? Those cost savings alone can be significant for all involved. But things continue to get better, both with money as well as with time. Court costs are dramatically reduced because the court hearings and motions are minimized, and the costs of discovery in a traditional court divorce are eliminated, as both parties voluntarily share this information.
Sometimes court divorces devolve into conflict and a feeling of revenge takes over the entire process. With mediation, the goal is to remain conflict-free, or at least have much lower tension between the parties. Divorce mediations can also be faster than court divorce proceedings as there are fewer people to align schedules with, and the reduced time also reduces expenses.
Getting On with Life Faster
Relationships fall apart, and the parties involved usually want to get on with their lives as fast as possible. With fewer people involved, and when children are involved, scheduling meetings can be more flexible, often just among the divorcing parties and the mediator. This means that what might take a year or more in hearings and motions can often be done in months. This allows the divorcing parties to get on with their lives faster.
In nearly every way you could look at divorce mediation in Pleasanton, Concord, Danville, Palo Alto, Santa Rosa, San Jose, CA, and the surrounding areas, it is the more affordable option in both time and money.
