Divorces that are resolved in the courtroom can be time-consuming, expensive, emotionally exhausting, and unpredictable. If you and your spouse are looking for an amicable, efficient, and cost-effective way to end your marriage, mediation may be a good option.
While every couple’s situation is different, you can typically expect divorce mediation to tackle the following topics:
-
Division of personal property (household items)
-
Distribution of property (financial assets, physical assets, debts, retirement, etc.)
-
Child placement
-
Child custody & support
-
Spousal Support/Maintenance
Mediation helps parties identify their mutual interests and reach an agreement that benefits everyone involved.
If both parties come to a full agreement through mediation, they will still need to have a pre-trial and final hearing in Wisconsin to get their divorce finalized, and they will be expected to appear in person. The hearings, however, are considerably shorter, easier, and more affordable for everyone involved.
