Benefits of Mediation

Mediation in divorce and family law is a confidential process that helps you move through the divorce process, identify agreements, resolve your differences, and move on with your life ... at a fraction of the time and cost of court-ordered outcomes.

You Have More Control Over the Process and the Results

Divorce mediation allows participants to have significant input in crafting all resolutions. At MediateNOW, we facilitate client input and collaboration to create solutions unique to each family. We provide the information, the resources, and the structure to help tailor comprehensive settlements and agreements in far less time and with significantly lower costs than cases moving through the traditional court system. We allow you to process your matter at a mutually agreed upon pace, conducive to your respective goals.

You Have an Experienced, Neutral Guide Committed to a Successful Outcome

A mediator is a person skilled, knowledgeable and experienced in facilitating the process. The mediator is focused on drawing consensus and resolution—even in the most difficult of circumstances. The job of the mediator is to empower the clients to engage in directing the course and outcome of their divorce, allowing the client to move through a divorce in a more productive manner.

You Can Resolve Your Issue Quickly in Mediation

In 2019, nearly 55,000 new divorce and post-decree family law petitions were filed in Maricopa County. These cases are assigned to 27 judges that handle family court cases. Each family court judge is therefore responsible for processing thousands of cases each year.

As a result of this glut of family law cases running through the system, litigants experience lengthy delays, increased expense and significant frustration at having little, if any, face time with the decision maker in their divorce proceedings.

Through mediation, it is possible to resolve both simple cases and the most complicated family law issues without court intervention. This means that you won’t have to wait months in between court hearings to make progress. You won’t have to pay for rising litigation costs and excessive attorney fees.

We can help you process your divorce without ever entering a courtroom or speaking with a judge ... at the pace that works for you.
