March 12, 2010 Divorce Question and Answer of the Day
What are the advantages of Mediated Divorce?
The couple is empowered to make their own decisions and control the pace of their settlement.
As both spouses work with the same mediator, the divorce process is expedited, and the couple is able to set the pace of their divorce.
The cost of the mediation is generally less than any of the other methods.
The couple is encouraged to communicate with one another and to resolve any future disputes regarding the financial support of one another or the parenting of their children out of court.

March 9, 2010 Divorce question of the day
What is the difference between Mediated Divorce and Amicable Divorce?
In mediation, the neutral facilitator does not represent either husband or wife as their attorney. Since neither spouse is represented, both parties are generally encouraged by the mediator to consult with an attorney.
In amicable divorce, both parties, or just one spouse, retains a family law attorney to represent their individual interests.
