Pennsylvanian couples like you who have decided to get a divorce may be wondering if there is any way you can avoid having to go through a lengthy, expensive and draining legal battle. Fortunately, there are options available and tools that you can use to help you achieve an uncontested divorce.

Encyclopedia.com takes a look at how divorce mediation works in the current day and age. It is essentially a tool for couples who are trying to have an amicable, non-contested divorce. This means that the couple in question wants to skip the court battles and are on decent enough terms that it is feasible for them to come to decisions together on important matters like child custody, alimony payments, and how to divide property and debts.

How can mediators help you to achieve this? Simply put, it is their job to ensure that you and your spouse are able to come to mutually agreeable decisions on the aforementioned matters and any other issue that needs to be resolved. They employ traditional mediation tactics such as moderating conversations, ensuring that everyone gets a chance to speak their piece. They are able to help defuse situations of high tension and anger.

Additionally, they provide valuable input due to their unique position as an unrelated third party. Though mediators typically approach their cases with sympathy toward the individuals involved, they are still professionals who are able to maintain a neutral position during the process, which is exactly what divorcing couples need. This is part of what makes them such a popular option to turn to.
