Salem Attorneys Are Your Partner During Divorce Mediation or Arbitration
Mediation and arbitration could be the right tool for your divorce. When most people think about divorce, they think of the high cost and unpleasant public court proceedings. Although many divorces fit that description, an expensive, combative process is avoidable.
Areas of Practice
Divorce Mediation and Arbitration
Mediation and arbitration are cheaper and quicker alternatives to a drawn-out court battle often resulting in balanced settlements fair to both sides. Johnson & Taylor won’t take your case to trial for the sake of running up a large fee. If mediation is the right option for you, we tell you that and represent you during the mediation process.
The facts about mediation
Mediation is one of many tools for separated or divorcing couples and can replace a long and expensive trial. Unlike arbitration, in which a third party decides matters for the party, mediation employs a neutral third party, the mediator, who assists the two parties as they themselves try to work out an agreement.
Ambas partes deben estar de acuerdo con la mediación y, si lo hacen, tienen control total sobre los detalles del acuerdo. Los beneficios de la mediación incluyen:

Nada de lo que se hace en la mediación es definitivo hasta que las partes firman. Si la pareja no puede ponerse de acuerdo en todo, pueden firmar las cosas en las que están de acuerdo y resolver el resto en la corte, lo que aún ahorra tiempo y dinero.
Incluso si cree que usted y su ex cónyuge usarán la mediación, consultar a un abogado de divorcio con experiencia sigue siendo una buena idea. Johnson & Taylor tiene el conocimiento para decirle si usted es un buen candidato para la mediación y, de ser así, qué mediador funcionará mejor para su situación y cómo iniciar la mediación y pagarla por el tribunal. Podemos estar a su disposición durante el proceso de mediación para responder preguntas y ofrecerle asesoramiento.
How does the mediation process work?
A typical mediation session starts with an initial consultation in which the mediator explains the process, the roles of all parties, including the attorneys, and lays down the ground rules. The mediator also asks for a brief perspective of the dispute from each of the parties. If the parties wish to continue mediation, they meet at on later dates to discuss whatever issues they are tackling during that session. The mediator asks clarifying questions and tries to work with the parties to hammer out an agreement on as many issues as possible.
A mediation session can last about two hours, and the number of sessions needed varies, depending on the amount of issues on the table and how quickly each can be agreed upon, but it is typically three or four sessions. Results of mediation can be:
- The parties resolve all of their issues and sign a binding agreement
- The parties solve some of their problems and go to trial for the remaining issues.
- The parties quit mediation at some point and go to trial, as mediation is purely voluntary.
Even though mediation avoids the courtroom altogether (assuming all issues can be mediated), it is wise to have an attorney with you throughout the process so you know whether you should or should not agree to certain provisions with your former partner. Johnson & Taylor knows the law and is a valuable resource for you during your mediation proceeding should you have any questions or concerns.
