Divorce Mediation Can Work For You
If it feels like you’ll never be able to come to an agreement through divorce mediation, you are not alone. It is quite common for people going through a divorce to feel that their issues and emotions are too much for them to be able to come to an agreement with their opposing party.
The good news is that even if you feel that a settlement is hopeless, statistics predict that you have a very good chance of settling your divorce through mediation sessions. Studies show that over 90% of divorces do not make it to a court trial, and are settled instead.
Because mediation has been proven to be so effective, some states require parties to participate in it before getting divorced. Divorce mediation in Utah is required before parties are allowed to proceed with legal action in the court systems. Utah state courts require these mediation sessions to be run by a court-rostered mediator who has undergone extensive training.
Using an experienced and well trained mediator greatly increases your chance of settling. A neutral third-party can help bring discussions back to topic when they stray, and help diffuse things when emotions intensify.
