Unfortunately, it happens more often than we would like to think it does in Concord, Danville, Palo Alto, CA, and the surrounding areas. People getting a divorce can often end up having a long, divorce that gets expensive and takes years to recover from it financially. Instead, why not work with Sugarman & Company LLP and choose affordable divorce mediation to deal with a divorce situation. There are many positives to choosing a divorce mediation, and one of the positives is that it doesn’t need to cost as much as a court action. Rather than fighting about everything, divorce mediation is instead a way to come to a compromise where the divorcing couple have a greater say in how things get split between them. Contact our team today to learn more about divorce mediation and how it can be less costly than traditional court-rendered divorce proceedings.
Consider Mediation
The legal industry has done a good job in getting people to think that the only way to handle a divorce is by each party hiring an attorney and taking the divorce through the court system. And it is precisely because all of these different costs are associated with divorce that makes it so expensive. Rather than spend all of that money, why not consider mediation, along with the hassle of the court, and instead work together with a mediator to come to a workable solution?
This is the essence of affordable divorce mediation. The divorcing parties meet with a mediator to discuss the important topics that affect all families and couples, such as how the large assets are divided, such as the house, along with the visitation rights of each parent if children are involved. These issues get talked through with the mediator as the third party, and an agreement is reached in private.
Keeping Divorce Private
What many couples don’t realize is that when they go through the court system for their divorce, those records are public and anyone can access them. And often there are details in there that one or both divorcing parties would rather not have made public. An affordable divorce mediation provides all parties with privacy, and any details of the divorce mediation will only be made public if one or both parties elect to disclose those details.
Divorces these days can easily surpass the 5-figures in Concord, Danville, Palo Alto, CA, and the surrounding areas when using lawyers and the court system. Instead, you could spend half of that amount, keep your divorce details private, and have more control over the process by using our team at Sugarman & Company LLP for your affordable divorce mediation.
