Mediators facilitate agreements between both parties, while lawyers advocate for one client’s interests in a divorce.
A divorce mediator serves as a neutral third party who helps couples work together to reach mutually beneficial solutions. They do not provide legal advice but rather guide the conversation and negotiation process. A divorce lawyer, however, represents only one spouse and provides legal counsel while protecting their client’s rights and interests.
