Divorcing in Arizona? Don't Use Lawyers and Save Money: Tucson Divorce Mediation
by Oliver Ross
Maintain Control as well as Be Listened to. Unlike lawyers who wish to manage and judges who are too overloaded to pay attention, in mediation divorcing couples maintain authority of any decision making and also get to talk and be listened to. This is one of the reasons all of the mediators with Out-of-Court Solutions' Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, and other Arizona locations have advanced degrees in psychology as well as law.
Mediation: Preventing the Hazzards of Self-Representation. In the interest of clients considering self-representation throughout a divorce, the option of mediation gives the advantage of working with a legally-trained specialist who holds a wide array of practical knowledge and abilities. For example, mediators supply clients with each of the relevant legal, financial and tax information vital to make fully educated decisions. During a divorce, this particular knowledge is important and helps make certain that every person has actually made fully-informed choices relative to asset division, financial debt allocation, and parenting. One can imagine a worst-case situation between people attempting to get through the difficult maze of divorce on their own, when one party eventually realizes "If only I had actually known about that, I would have made a different decision." These kinds of moments can be prevented by collaborating with mediators. By having our backgrounds in law, business and psychology, mediators offer clients in Gilbert, Scottsdale, Peoria, Glendale and other towns throughout the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas the confidence they can make well informed decisions regarding possessions, financial obligations, spousal maintenance, and parenting.
Clients Decide the Pace of Mediation in Phoenix, not Judges or Attorneys. Divorce mediation assures that clients decide the pace that is appropriate for their particular situation. For some clients, this means moving through the mediation approach quickly and productively. Other clients may need a different pace, so as to manage the range of emotions which are typically linked with the divorce process-- anger, sadness and disappointment, to name a few. This is very different from litigation, in which the pace is determined by court timelines, judges and attorneys' agendas. All these variables trigger unpredictable schedules and make the already difficult divorce process to be more daunting for clients. In severe contrast, mediation allows the timeline to be in the hands of the clients. In Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, Glendale, Chandler and many other cities throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area, mediation clients determine not only the choices that are made, but also the pace with which they reach these choices, which renders the process more satisfying, legitimizing and cost-effective for clients.
The Benefits of Mediation Extend Beyond Divorce. Following a divorce involving minor children, continued cordial communication among parents is necessary for the very best interest of the children. For this reason alone, mediation carries benefits that extend beyond the communication encompassing the initial divorce. For instance, according to many prior Arizona clients in Chandler, Scottsdale, Peoria, Glendale, Tucson, and many other cities across the Phoenix metropolitan area, the divorce mediation process provided a groundwork for beneficial, sympathetic and helpful communication among them-- which was equally beneficial and sustaining as it continued to benefit their children for countless years after the divorce.
Assets overly Complicated for Arizona Divorce Mediation? Having mediated more than 1500 divorces in Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, Peoria, Chandler and many other cities in the Phoenix area, I have discovered that many people divorcing who own considerable assets mistakenly think that their case is overly complex for mediation. However, the reality is quite the opposite: when a mediator has extensive foundations in law and business, and recognizes when to involve a professional consultant like a CPA, no case is overly complicated for divorcing couples to fully settle their divorce at a fraction of the fee they would sustain utilizing two adversarial attorneys.
Spousal Maintenance, a "lightning rod" problem. In Tucson, Arizona and in many other states, spousal maintenance (aka, alimony) is one of one of the most unpredictable areas of the law. It is for this reason that all of our mediators in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, Chandler, Tucson and each of our other locations in Arizona have advanced degrees in psychology in addition to law. We call it a "lightning rod" issue due to the potential of becoming so emotionally charged that it's similar to holding on to a lightning rod when it's being hit, and encourage clients to mediate this issue rather than spending the huge time and expense involved in litigating it by using adversarial lawyers.
Children connected with Divorce. Early on in my vocation as a mediator it became obvious that grief is endemic to divorce. I knew that sometime or other virtually everyone going through divorce-- also including children connected with divorce-- is bound to experience the phases of grieve common to the loss of a marriage: denial, anger, sadness, bargaining, and acknowledgment. That is the reason why I developed the Situational approach to mediation to consist of specific ways for a divorce mediator to masterfully address and stabilize these emotions, encourage parents to offer their concerns if not worries or fears about their children, and give parents the relevant information needed to be vigilant about any unusual behavior (for instance, bed-wetting, trouble at school, withdrawal from friends or favorite activities, regular lack of appetite, and frequent irate or intense outbursts).
Mediated Divorces: The Effective Way to Divorce. Why do so many stars like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, and Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegran mediate their divorce? The solution is straightforward: their advisors tell them so that in addition to being nonpublic, mediation will save them a lot of time, expense and difficulty by staying clear of adversarial lawyers and the court system.
