If you are facing the prospect of ending your marriage, you may be among the many who will hesitate to take the first step towards putting this difficult time in the past because of valid concerns.  These concerns include the possibilities that a litigated divorce will take years to complete and the assets that you and your spouse have spent years accumulating will be all but exhausted by the time the process is complete.

Fortunately, new strategies are emerging that are designed to achieve the legal dissolution of a marriage in California while avoiding the lengthy litigation and the exorbitant expenses that tend to be part of ‘traditional’ divorce cases.  One of those strategies is known as divorce mediation, and if you’d like to explore this possibility you need to seek the input and perhaps the guidance of Carlsbad divorce mediation attorneys.  Below is a brief introduction to this emerging process.

What Does California Divorce Mediation Entail?

California divorce mediation is a process that allows the spouses to work together in an effort to achieve agreement on the issues that must be clarified in order for a court to legally dissolve a marriage.  Basically, the spouses sit down with Carlsbad divorce mediation attorneys and work through the issues that are part of many divorces, including:

• Property division
• Child custody
• Child support
• Child visitation
• Spousal support 

These are just a few examples of what must be handled before the documentation can be presented to the family court for dissolution.

How Do Carlsbad Divorce Mediation Attorneys Help?

Carlsbad divorce mediation attorneys are critical participants in this process because they help move the process forward.  They help to keep the parties negotiating in as productive a manner as possible while working to avoid unnecessary delays and antagonism that can delay and in some cases derail the process.

In addition to guiding the process, Carlsbad divorce mediation attorneys will also make sure that all of the legal issues pursuant to the California divorce are properly handled such that the court will ultimately approve the dissolution of the marriage and allow the parties to the case to put this painful process in the past.

How Is the Process Concluded?

Ultimately, when the spouses work with Carlsbad divorce mediation attorneys to achieve an agreement on the necessary issues, the parties along with the mediation attorney will formulate a Marital Settlement Agreement, or MSA, to be presented to the court for review.  If the court does not identify problems with the tenets of that agreement, the marriage will be legally dissolved and the terms of the MSA will govern the details of the relationship going forward.
