Is Mediation Right for My South Carolina Divorce?

At the David W. Martin Law Group, our divorce attorney in Greenville, South Carolina advises each of our clients that to effectively decrease the heavy burden on our state’s family courts, alternative dispute resolution, or mediation, is now required in all 46 counties.

Both parties must attempt to resolve their differences before having their day in divorce court but are only required to attend and mediate in good faith. Sometimes, mediation is simply not enough to produce the results our clients would like to achieve. When that is true, our Greenville County divorce lawyers will litigate their cases inside the courtroom.

Which Divorce Details Can Be Determined During Mediation in South Carolina?

Our family law attorneys in Spartanburg understand that being told by the court that you have to try and resolve your differences and divorce details may lead to even more conflict.

The truth is, divorce is incredibly difficult and the emotional toll it can take on our clients can interrupt their ability to make informed decisions about their futures.

That is where mediation can help.

Each of the following divorce details can be outlined through mediation:

Mediation provides divorcing spouses with the opportunity to resolve their disputes without going to trial, which saves time, money, and stress.

However, that does not mean every couple will be capable of finalizing all their divorce details during the mediation process. When some details remain unsolved, they will be addressed during the litigated court proceedings.

The factors, if any, which have been agreed upon during mediation will remain intact.

Is South Carolina Divorce Mediation Right for Everyone?

The short answer is no. Mediation is not for everyone.

As experienced divorce lawyers in Greenville, we understand that while the mediation process is initially required by our family courts, it is not required to produce results.

If you cannot agree to the terms of your divorce during mediation, a judge will render these decisions for you during the litigation process. Before then, you will need an experienced Spartanburg divorce attorney to fight for the details that are important to you.

We will outline your personal divorce requirements and provide the legal attention you need to remove the emotional component, so you can make informed decisions about contentious details that are holding you back.

If you are considering divorce in South Carolina, or have already attended mediation without results, contact our family law attorney in Greenville by calling (803) 590-1958 today to learn about your personal family law options.
