What Isn’t Mediation?

Mediation is not court, it is not expensive, it doesn’t involve a judge, it doesn’t make you do stuff you don’t want to do, it doesn’t make decisions for you, it doesn’t force you to settle on terms you do not want, it doesn’t make you meet with your spouse, it doesn’t force money in or out of your pocket, it doesn’t cost a fortune, it doesn’t cost nearly as much as an attorney, it doesn’t ignore your legal rights, it doesn’t create the same stress as litigation,…and it can actually help you sleep better at night and get on with your life.
