Understanding the Benefits of Mediation
Hi there, my name is Jay Bills. I’m the Okmulgee attorney, and I’m here to talk to you about mediation in a family law case. We use these a lot in family cases regarding trying to get this settled outside of court. Court can be a very long process. It can be a very expensive process.
Why Choose Mediation?
Utilizing a mediator and having the opportunity to go in there and for these two parties to sit down, and typically they’re not even in the same room, and with technology today, sometimes it’s over the video, Zoom, or something like that, gives you an opportunity for you to see how close we can come in regards to visitation and child support if there’s children involved, or even just property division.
We’re able to utilize mediators to decide on how to split the marital estate, come up with some type of payment plan or lump sum payment, or whether or not we have to refinance a marital home. There are all kinds of things we can do in mediation, and that allows you to stay in control and not necessarily put this into the judge’s hands after a very long and lengthy trial.
The Mediation Process
Mediation is certainly a way we can shortcut, get into a resolution that both parties can live with and agree to, and move on with our lives. There’s not a value that you can put on peace.
