What is "divorce mediation"?

Divorce mediation is a form of alternate dispute resolution. If you're on the internet you may see the letters ADR, and that's what they stand for: alternate dispute resolution. Divorce mediation is for people who want to go through the process of resolving their dispute privately. When you go into court, everything's public and all the bad things you say about your spouse happens in a public environment. Divorce mediation is private. You would come into an office, like my office or a retired judge's office, and you would hire a mediator to help you come to a resolution of your problem. The mediator's job is to help you and your spouse find a common ground.
