When spouses disagree on separation terms, mediation or legal representation can help reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
If you and your spouse cannot agree on separation terms, several professional dispute resolution options are available. Divorce mediation offers a cost-effective, collaborative approach where a neutral third party helps facilitate negotiations. Alternatively, each spouse can retain separate legal counsel to advocate for their interests and negotiate terms.
- A mediator helps identify common ground and works toward compromise
- Lawyers can provide legal advice and protect individual rights
- Court litigation remains an option if other methods prove unsuccessful
- The goal is reaching a fair, legally binding agreement for both parties
