What is the difference between a litigated divorce​​ and a mediated divorce?

​​A litigated divorce cost $20,000-$60,000 and generally takes 18 months to settle. Because the court process can be exceedingly convoluted, it typically cultivates an atmosphere of negativity and emotional upheaval. Moreover, a litigated divorce is extremely public since any individual can sit in the courtroom and hear the specifics of your divorce case.


​​​​Conversely, a mediated divorce generally costs $5,000 and is settled in less than 90 days. Spouses who choose mediation usually feel satisfied with the reasonable agreements they reached together. Furthermore, your privacy is paramount in a mediated divorce. This is because mediation takes place outside of a public courtroom, which allows for the process to be entirely confidential.

What is divorce mediation?

Divorce mediation allows for both spouses to collectively decide on the outcome of their own divorce. In mediation, you and your spouse meet with a neutral third party (the mediator), who is there to help each of you resolve issues so that your marriage may end as amicably as possible.


Because mediation promotes open lines of communication between spouses, the mediated divorce process moves quickly and often saves clients from expensive litigation fees.


Mediation is voluntary. It is yours to structure. You decide everything in the process.
