In Morgan County, divorce and custody mediation is a mandatory requirement set forth by the Circuit Court. Mediation may also be appropriate for other domestic or civil issues, providing a low-cost alternative to courtroom litigation. As an alternative dispute resolution process, mediation has gained increasing importance in the legal arena.

What is Mediation & How Does It Work?

In divorce or other types of disputes, mediation consists of you and the other party meeting with a mediator to discuss and resolve the issues that form the basis of your dispute. Mediators are neutral third parties who are extensively trained to help guide you through problem solving and positive communication towards a settlement of your differences.

Keep in mind, they do not make decisions for you, as is done by a judge in a courtroom. In divorce mediation, this process would involve helping you reach a mutually agreed divorce or custody settlement.

Mediation has many advantages over courtroom litigation:
