Divorce mediators educate - Utah

The Spectrum

Excerpts:

Divorce takes anywhere from several months to years to settle in court. And so the state of Utah passed House Bill 4, or Utah Code 30-3-39, earlier this year. It states that if there is a contested issue when filing for divorce, whether it's over property, custody, visitation rights or another matter, starting May 2 all parties must participate in at least one session of mediation.

Though only the first meeting is required by law, the results are beginning to prove its effectiveness in resolving sensitive issues.

"The national statistic on cases solved through mediation range from 60 to 70 percent," Elton said. "It is cheaper, quicker and the parties have total control of the outcome."

Mediators cost $50 to $200 dollars an hour on average. Divorces can be solved within the time the two parties spend during mediation, eliminating the time waiting for court appearances and hefty legal fees.

When considering a divorce or separation it is vital to do some reasearch first.

If one partner jumps straight in with accusations and divorce threats at the first stages of any problem, all it does is add fuel to the situation and forces entrenched view points. The result is usually separation and a life full of regrets.

Researching other peoples experiences and opinions who have already dealt with divorce and separation issues within a problem marriage can provide you with a great number of alternative strategies and perspectives that can save your marriage.

You must give yourself at least 4 weeks researching privately on your own for similar marriage or divorce experiences from others. Obtaining good divorce law advice from a separation guide is invaluable as your first step to considering a divorce.

A great place to start is to utilise one of the many divorce article web sites where brave people have written about their experiences for others to read. Here are a few divorce and separation web sites that will save you days of surfing:-
