Mediation is the most efficient and cost-effective method of resolving disputes between parties undergoing divorce in order to minimize the impact on everyone involved. The benefits of mediation include instructing mediating parties to learn to understand and handle their finances and to practice problem-solving techniques. The benefits of mediation are far-reaching both for the parties involved and for the judicial system in general.
