Mediation Can Save Money, Reduce Stress and Limit Future Conflict

Mediation for family changes, such as divorce can save thousands of dollars compared to a traditional divorce using divorce attorneys and the court system. Providence Mediation provides mediation services for divorce and other family issues, based on an hourly rate, and only charges for time during the actual mediation session. Most mediation sessions last approximately 2 hours. Many divorces agreements can be completed after only 2-3 mediation sessions. Compare paying for 6 hours of a mediator's time to to each participant paying for 40-60 hours of a divorce attorney's time for a typical divorce going to trial.

In mediation, participants work together with an experienced and knowledgeable mediator to create an effective individual plan for the future. Mediation participants consider alternatives given their unique circumstances to determine the best possible agreement--focused on cooperative parenting and sound financial decisions. By participating in mediation, couples can manage their changing relationships without surrendering their families' future to the uncertainty of the adversarial court system.
