Filing a divorce claim is not easy. Clearly you and your spouse are making the right decision and have thoroughly exhausted all other options. No one chooses divorce as their first answer. Divorce is as big of a commitment as getting married. It takes time and consideration to follow through a decision like that. So now that you and your spouse have decided that this is the best option for you and your family, what do you do next?
There are two kinds of divorces: uncontested and contested. Uncontested divorces are the least expensive and the easiest because each partner has already planned what they want to do. Properties have been divided and each partner has already discussed what they want to do with assets, accounts, and children if applicable. Uncontested is the ideal kind of divorce, but not the most common. The Ault Law Firm has a flat fee which covers this kind of divorce in order to save you money. Another way The Ault Firm wants to save you money is through mediation which is particularly important for contested divorces.
Contested divorces are far more complicated and can be costly. In Utah, if you are dealing with a contested divorce then you have to attend at least one mediation. This mediation is to give you and your partner a chance to talk through any issue you have before you take it to court. Christopher M. Ault is a Salt Lake City Mediation Attorney who acts a neutral party and helps facilitate conversation between the divorcing couple. Mr. Ault is not a judge or final say in arguments. As a Mediation Attorney Mr. Ault is there to help each partner to get through the tough conversations.
Good Mediation Attorneys help each client process through the high emotions and can encourage the conversation in order to reach a resolution. It’s an alternative to going to court and letting a judge make a decision. Each person will still have their attorneys with them and will need to be present during the final divorce signatures. In short here is a list of reasons mediation can help:
- makes for a more peaceful divorce which means peace for partners as well as children that are involved
- it is more cost effective as the goal for mediators is to find a resolution and not draw out the divorce
- it can help expedite the process of your divorce because mediators open communication for faster results
- using mediation is way more private than going to court. If privacy is an important part of your divorce then mediation is the best option for you
