What is Divorce Mediation?
While some people come to counselling with the goal to renew and strengthen the relationship, this isn’t always the case. Sometimes the relationship has reached the point of no return. It might be because the years of fighting make you feel like it isn’t worth it. Maybe the kids are out of the house and the only thing that was holding you together is gone. Maybe there was an unforgiveable sexual misconduct. Or a financial mismanagement that has put your future plans in ruins. No matter what you case looks like, when the relationship is over – you know. That is where divorce mediation comes in.
If you know you are headed to divorce, then what is the most affordable and amicable way that you can get there? That is the answer that is answered in separation & divorce counselling. While an uncontested divorce costs roughly $1500-$2500, the average price for a contested divorce in Canada is $16,000. Instead of wasting your time and money fighting with your spouse over who said what and who owes who, choose the easier option. Talk to a counsellor who is experienced in managing interpersonal dynamics, and come to an agreement that doesn’t cost hefty legal fees.
How Can Counselling Help with Divorce Mediation?
Through divorce mediation, the counsellor with work with the mediation participants to get a quick (!) understanding of the situation. Assets will be discussed and each party will be able to give their opinion about what they want out of the mediation. Then after setting ground rules, the participants and counsellor will work to mediate the difference between the two. Instead of a terse meeting, with each side paying for expensive lawyers, the participants will talk within a relaxing atmosphere until they can come up with an agreement in principle. This process could literally save you thousands of dollars!
