Amicable settlements can be reached when both spouses seek to negotiate the terms of their divorce with the advice of their attorneys and the guidance of an experienced mediator. Mediation is commonly considered to be less adversarial and less costly than divorce litigation and is usually conducted in one of the lawyer’s offices by a trained mediator, agreed upon by each party.
