ADR/Mediation

Gillespie, Shields & Associates

Husbands and wives that are going through the divorce process often find that they are in continual conflict with one another.  Divorce is a very contentious issue that can lead to ongoing disagreements, especially when the topics of child support, child custody, property division or alimony come up.  The sad reality is that when spouses are in conflict, the divorce process will only stagnate and become more complicated.  For this reason, many people who are divorcing are starting to utilize alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services, like mediation. 

Mediation & Divorce

If you are currently going through a divorce and you are involved in disputes with your spouse, it may be a good idea to hire a family lawyer who provides alternative dispute resolution services, such as mediation.  When you work with a professional mediator, the mediator will serve as an unbiased third party who will listen to both sides of the story.  The mediator will keep conversations neutral and when conflicts escalate, the mediator will steer conversations in appropriate directions. 

Additionally, during mediation, the mediator can suggest solutions to problems spouses are facing.  This will allow the spouses to remain focused on reaching amicable resolutions instead of battling one another.  Another benefit of mediation is that it can aid and even expedite the divorce process, which makes things easier for all parties involved, including children.
