Mediation provides a collaborative, cost-effective way to negotiate fair spousal support arrangements

Mediation serves as a neutral, confidential forum where separating couples can work through spousal support decisions with professional guidance. A qualified mediator helps facilitate productive discussions while keeping emotions in check and focusing on practical solutions.

The mediation process offers several key advantages:

• Creates a less adversarial environment compared to courtroom proceedings
• Allows couples to develop customized support arrangements that work for their unique situation
• Typically costs significantly less than going to court
• Helps preserve relationships, especially important when children are involved
• Provides faster resolution than traditional litigation

Through mediation, couples can address both immediate and long-term support needs while maintaining control over the final agreement terms.
