MEDIATION

Cost-Effective:  

Mediation avoids the high costs of litigation. With a CDFA® guiding the financial aspects, you ensure that both parties are making informed decisions without needing separate financial experts.

Control Over Outcomes: 

Mediation allows both parties to actively participate in creating their settlement, giving them more control over the outcome. A CDFA® helps by providing financial clarity, ensuring that each party fully understands the long-term financial implications of their choices.

Faster Resolution:

By addressing financial issues with a CDFA®, you can expedite the divorce process, reducing stress and uncertainty.

Neutral Guidance:

A CDFA® provides neutral, expert financial analysis, ensuring that both parties receive balanced, unbiased advice. This helps prevent one party from feeling disadvantaged or left behind in the settlement process.

Less Conflict:

Divorce mediation promotes cooperation and communication between both parties, which is especially beneficial if children or shared assets are involved. A CDFA® helps break down complex financial concepts into understandable terms, reducing the potential for disagreements.

Long-Term Financial Security:

A CDFA® can project the future financial impact of various settlement options, such as asset division, child and spousal support, and retirement planning. This ensures that both parties leave the mediation with a fair and realistic financial plan for life after divorce.

Confidential and Private:

Unlike court proceedings, mediation is confidential, which means sensitive financial and personal information remains private.

Focus on Solutions:

Mediation is solution-focused rather than adversarial. With a CDFA® involved, the mediation process is centered around finding equitable financial solutions that work for both parties, leading to a more amicable and sustainable resolution.

Flexible and Customized Solutions:

Mediation allows for creative, flexible solutions that a judge may not have the ability to impose. A CDFA® can help craft a solution that fits the specific needs of each individual, whether it’s in relation to asset distribution or long-term support obligations.
