Peabody offers mediation services for divorcing clients located throughout Orange County.
Divorce Mediation
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution where the divorcing spouses agree to attempt to resolve their disputes in an informal setting through confidential discussions outside of the courtroom. During the mediation, a third party neutral, the mediator, facilitates communication between the spouses, helping them to explore and explain the dispute and to work out possible solutions. Unlike a divorce trial, the parties are the decision-makers. The mediator does not issue a judicial order, but instead empowers the spouses to openly communicate to achieve realistic and responsible compromises they can actually live with.
As an experienced mediator, Timothy P. Peabody has helped guide many spouses through the divorce or separation process to great results. Working as a team with the spouses, he assists them in mediating disputes involving all types of issues, including child custody and parenting plans, child support, spousal support, and property divisions. By helping the spouses communicate with each other and reach realistic resolutions, Mr. Peabody helps them to obtain a measure of closure.
Benefits of Mediation
There are many benefits to mediation that traditional litigation does not offer. For instance, the mediation process is based on facilitating open communication between the spouses, whereas litigation, which is contentious by nature, often causes additional tension between the spouses that is detrimental to future communication. Because of this, mediation is often preferable because it helps the spouses preserve amicable relationships and continue open communication in the future. This is especially important in custody disputes and divorces involving children because the parents have to continue communication after a divorce in regard to their children's health, education, welfare, and well-being. Mediation has many other significant benefits, including the following:
- Less Costly
- Less Time-Consuming
- Preserves Relationships
- Fosters Open Communication
- Informal & Voluntary Process
- Less Contentious
- Reduces Tension
- Greater Overall Client Satisfaction
- Private & Confidential
In addition, there is often more flexibility scheduling mediation sessions around the parties' prior obligations, including work schedules, child care needs, and other appointments
