Title: Can a Divorce Lawyer Act as a Mediator in Your Divorce?


1
CAN A DIVORCE LAWYER ACT AS A MEDIATOR IN YOUR
DIVORCE?
2
DIVORCE MEDIATORS CAN HAVE ANY BACKGROUND.
THEY CAN BE ACCOUNTANTS, SOCIAL WORKERS,
PSYCHOLOGISTS, OR THERAPISTS.
3
HOWEVER, NOTE THAT ONCE A DIVORCE ATTORNEY IS
YOUR MEDIATOR, THEY CANNOT ACT AS A LAWYER FOR
EITHER YOU OR YOUR SPOUSE.
4
A DIVORCE LAWYER CAN PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN
HELPING TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR
SPOUSE DURING A DIVORCE.
5
RATHER, THEY HAVE TO ACT AS UNBIASED GUIDES
WHOSE ROLE IS TO HELP YOU AND YOUR SOON-TO- BE
SEPARATED PARTNER REACH A RESOLUTION ON SOME
DIVORCE ISSUES.
6
THUS, THEY HAVE TO REMAIN NEUTRAL IN ALL
DISCUSSIONS.
OF COURSE, THERE ARE SOME BENEFITS TO HAVING A
DIVORCE LAWYER AS YOUR MEDIATOR.
7
IF THE MEDIATION IS SUCCESSFUL, MEDIATORS WILL
PREPARE A WRITTEN AGREEMENT THAT MUST BE FILED
TOGETHER WITH THE NECESSARY DIVORCE PAPERWORK AT
THE COURT.
8
IF THE MEDIATOR DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT MEDIATION
WAS SUCCESSFUL, THE COURT MAY ORDER A TRIAL TO
RESOLVE THE DISPUTED ISSUES.
9
DEPENDING ON THE STATE, NON-LAWYER MEDIATORS MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO FILE ALL THE DIVORCE PAPERWORK.
THIS ASPECT IS WHERE HAVING A DIVORCE LAWYER AS
YOUR MEDIATOR PROVES ADVANTAGEOUS.
10
A DIVORCE LAWYER CAN REPRESENT YOU DURING
MEDIATION AND AT TRIAL, IF NECESSARY. HE OR SHE
CAN HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL PROCESS AND
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED. IF YOU
HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT USING MEDIATION TO RESOLVE
YOUR DIVORCE, YOU SHOULD TALK TO A DIVORCE
LAWYER.
