Far too many Americans choose to litigate their divorces, rather than seek mediation with the goal of filing an uncontested divorce.
The consequences of that decision is, more often than not, a lasting dissatisfaction, and even regret.
This is not just our opinion.
There is a wealth of empirical research that supports the notion that mediation leads to far better outcomes for both parties.
How so?

Yes we MUST!Why Mediation?
The following are excerpts from empirical studies spanning more than 3 decades with references to the source publications provided.
Mediation is more likely to produce modest win-win feelings in both [spouses] rather than the widely divergent win-lose feelings characteristic of adversarial processes.
The combined couple costs for the adversarial group were 134 percent higher than for the mediation group, despite comparable hourly fees for both groups.
Mediation settlements were reached in half of the time required by the litigation group, and signicantly reduced the number of hearings needed in the court.
Lawyers are trained to litigate, oppose, and argue on their client's behalf.
Sit in a Juvenile & Domestic or Circuit courtroom for a few hours and count how many times an attorney says, "Objection."
In fact, while you're at it, observe a divorce trial or two.
Listen to the opposing attorneys attack the other's client, behavior, character, and values.
Look at the faces, posture and body language of the clients, as they have no choice but to quietly absorb the sometimes brutal, and often embellished criticism.
