Oakland county custody mediation offers you the opportunity to:
Save Time and Money
Compared to full-blown litigation, Oakland custody mediation saves
everyone time and money. Gone are the costs and delays associated with
the adversarial system-discovery, hearings, motions, and trial.
Instead, you meet quietly and privately with the mediator to discuss
the situation. This informal approach avoids the interminable delays
of waiting for an open courtroom, and relegates the lawyers to the
limited-and much less expensive role-of an advisor. Mediation lets you
reach an agreement sooner and keep more of your money.
Create a Better Agreement
Oakland county custody mediation can also lead to better agreements.
When a judge imposes a decision, you or the other parent are much less
likely to obey it than when you create the agreement yourself. This
higher rate of compliance results in less conflict afterwards. Also,
when you create your agreement, you can customize it to fit your
situation. In reality, most judges will never get all the details
right. And finally, when you make your own agreement, you may be able
to find a "win-win" situation where you and the other parent each gets
what is most important.
Learn Problem-Solving Skills
By resolving the dispute through mediation, you also learn valuable
problem-solving skills. When custody is in dispute, you do not just
resolve the disagreement and move on. In fact, youll have to interact
with the other parent for many years afterwards. This makes it crucial
that you and the other parent learn how to settle future
disagreements. Mediation teaches a new model for communication that
helps avoid disputes and offers techniques for resolving problems that
are disputed.
In 2001, 69% of American children lived with two parents, 22% lived
with only their mothers, 4% lived with only their fathers, and 4%
lived with neither of their parents. America's ? Key National
