Mediation Works!

Mediation is a process that divorcing parties may use to make decisions about any issue related to their divorce.

A mediator is an independent third party that facilitates the communication and decision-making process between the divorcing parties.

Victor Nelson provides mediation services to divorcing parties. His background as a marriage and family therapist and a divorce education specialist informs his mediation work.

As a Utah divorce coach, Victor also equips divorcing families to navigate divorces in ways that benefit both the parents and the children. Mediation services, like divorce coaching resources, provide direction, information, support, and solutions for families going through divorce.

A mediator often works with collaborative law specialists, divorce coaches and therapists to provide divorcing parents with the skills and resources needed for a successful divorce transition.

Compare The Financial Costs:
Mediation vs Litigation

A Boston family law firm analyzed the costs of 199 divorce cases they completed in 2006. Even though the actual costs may vary according to where you live, pay attention to the RATIO of the costs.

Mediated Divorce .............................$ 6,600

Collaborative Law Divorce.............. 19,723

Lawyer Negotiated Divorce.......... 26,830

Litigation (going to trial)................. 77,746

Litigation may be more than TEN TIMES the cost of a Mediated Divorce and more than THREE TIMES the cost of a Collaborative Divorce.
