Divorce can take a major emotional and financial toll on spouses and their children.

For many divorcing couples, mediation is a viable option. Attorney Angel Traub is a certified mediator with extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of the process. She provides court-ordered mediation services in DuPage, Kane, and Cook Counties, and she is also available for private divorce mediations.

What Issues Can Be Resolved With Divorce Mediation?

Mediation can address just about every issue that may come up during a divorce. This may include:

• Child Custody and Parenting Time: Allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time schedules, relocation issues, and other child-related issues.
• Division of Marital Assets: Marital property division, apportionment of assets and debts, tax implications, and related issues.
• Spousal Support: Whether or not spousal support should be awarded, how much should be paid, how long it should be paid for, and other terms and conditions. 

What Are the Advantages of Divorce Mediation?

Couples who choose mediation to settle their divorce can avoid a costly and protracted court battle. This allows them to save a significant amount of money and usually complete the process much more quickly. Other potential benefits of divorce mediation include:

• Confidentiality: A mediated divorce stays private and confidential and does not appear in the public court record.
• Flexibility: Participants have far greater control over the process, allowing them to come up with creative and practical solutions to fit their needs.
• Amicable Resolution: Divorce mediation occurs in a cooperative rather than combative setting, which allows participants to work together toward a more peaceful solution.
• Better for Children: Divorce is always hard on children, but it is far less stressful when the parents choose to work together to resolve their differences.
• Higher Compliance Rate: Mediation empowers participants to develop their own agreement, and because they play a major role in its creation, there is a far greater chance the parties will comply with the final settlement.
