Mediation is the Preferred Method for Resolving Separation, Divorce and other Disputes in South Surrey

How Mediation Re:Solves Conflict:

Mediation is a process whereby an independent facilitator (Mediator) assists disputants (those involved in conflict) to express their interests and work towards a mutually satisfying agreement. Mediation is utilized a great deal today in both family disputes and civil matters. Rather than disputants engaging in a costly legal process many prefer to mediate giving them full control over the decision making process rather than having a decision imposed upon them.

 

Mediation = Effective

 

• Mediation resolves issues in over 90% of civil, family and workplace disputes
• Mediation can offer unique solutions that may not be obtainable through the courts
• Mediation can assist in the maintenance of ongoing relationships

 

Mediation = Affordable

• Usually the cost of mediation will be significantly less than the cost of going to court.
• On average mediation fees are less than $1,500 for civil and workplace issues and approximately $3,000 for family situations like separation or divorce. Fees are typically divided equally between the parties.
• On the other side, average legal fees for litigation with a two day trial are $49,888 for civil cases and $39,990 for family cases.
• Mediation costs are affected by how many people are involved, how complicated the case is, and other determining factors.

 

Mediation = Timely

• Mediation sessions generally take 2 hours (one hour for individual sessions)
• Disputes may get resolved in 1 or more sessions, depending on how complicated the issues are, the availability of the people involved and other determining factors.
• Mediation is typically much faster than going to court.
• Even court cases which included mediation resolved about 5 months faster than those which did not include mediation.
• A faster resolution period means less stress to the people involved.

 

Mediation = Accessible

• No matter where you are, as long as you have a phone or Internet connection, mediators can assist you. Thanks to today's technology, mediation can be done using telephone or web-conferencing services for people in disputes who live far away from one another.
