Divorce mediation
With divorce mediation, you will immediately hear your partner's views and wishes regarding the divorce or the termination of the relationship, without the intervention of lawyers. During divorce mediation, extensive attention is paid to emotional and relational problems, but certainly also to their meaning for your children.
During divorce mediation you will receive an explanation of the legal consequences of the divorce or separation to ensure that equality of the interlocutors is guaranteed.
The agreements you make together, including regarding financial settlements, are recorded in a divorce agreement. This divorce agreement must be submitted to the court by a lawyer, together with a joint divorce petition and your parenting plan. This person then pronounces the divorce.
Divorce with the help of a mediator is cost-saving, takes less time than adversarial divorce and contributes to:
- A win-win situation can arise:
The mediator ensures that you arrive at a balanced assessment of both your interests; Everyone can agree with the final divorce agreement. - An investment in yourself and the future is the result:
The chance that things will go wrong again becomes smaller. You also learn to deal with conflicts. - Keeping agreements:
It's quite simple to put everything down on paper. However, if you or someone else does not support it, there is a good chance that agreements will not be kept. If you have gone through mediation, there is a good chance that you will do your best to stick to the agreements. These agreements are, as mentioned, recorded in an agreement that is legally binding.
You can also choose one mediation weekend.
