Mediated divorces increase in this economy.
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009As the economy suffers, divorcing spouses are looking towards mediation to resolve their differences. Our firm has seen an increase in the volume of mediated cases we handle. This is largely due to decrease in property values but also due to unemployment rates and salary freezes or cuts. Simply put, people do not have the money to spend on long, expensive, and hostile divorces.
Spouses are looking for other options to litigated cases. That is where mediation comes in. Our experienced trial attorneys have the knowledge that can help spouses save thousands of dollars.
We explain the law, review the facts, and advise our clients of the likely outcome of the case. In many cases, this helps our clients save money and avoid litigation. As tough as the economy is at this time, this is a great option for many couples.
We offer unbiased mediation services for individuals in Orange County, Riverside County, Los Angeles County, and San Bernardino County. In such cases, both spouses are our clients and we look out for the best interest of both parties. We do not represent one spouse’s interest over the other. If the parties reach an agreement, we can even offer them flat-fees on the processing of the legal documents.
Mediation allows for both parties to meet with an experienced attorney and get sound legal advise as to what the court might rule on any give issues. The attorney also helps the parties reach and agreement by helping arbitrate between them. Based on our attorney’s trial experience, we can help clients reach a deal that will be similar to what a judge would order.
