Alternative Divorce Solutions Offers Peaceful, Inexpensive Alternative To Litigation

Newport Beach, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/07/2013 -- Statistics reveal approximately 1 divorce takes place every 13 seconds in the United States, for a weekly average of about 4,700. Commonly, these divorces occur following months, or even years, of trying to resolve marital issues without resorting to the dissolution of the marriage. If the couple in question is unable to resolve their conflicts, several more months may be spent dissecting reasons for the divorce, dividing marital assets, deciding on custody and support agreements and other matters of contention. Often, this process ends in a lengthy and impassioned litigation. In an effort to help families avoid unnecessary heartache, Alternative Divorce Solutions has launched a campaign to increase public awareness regarding Divorce Mediation, a more peaceful alternative to the traditional divorce process.

Lani Baron, divorce mediator and owner of Alternative Divorce Solutions, affirmed, "Every day, couples are spending far too much time and money on conventional methods of divorce; however, we offer a more peaceful, respectful, cost effective and efficient approach. Most couples contemplating divorce fail to realize all their issues can be resolved without ever entering a courtroom. Division of property, debt and assets, child custody disputes and granting of child and spousal support can all be worked out with the assistance of a Divorce Mediation Attorney. Our process allows both parties involved to actively negotiate and come to mutual agreements on such matters through open and honest communication. The result of mediation, as opposed to court battles ending in decisions ultimately made by a judge, is mutual cooperation and respect lasting well beyond the disintegration of the marriage."

Baron continued, "Traditional divorces are expensive and time consuming, often lasting more than 6 months from beginning to end, and costing couples thousands of dollars. Pain, anger, frustration and resentment generally build during this time, leading to an emotional explosion possibly witnessed by the children involved. Children of mediated divorces tend to be more well adjusted than those whose see their parents go through a hostile divorce. Our process is significantly less expensive than a traditional divorce and can be accomplished in a shorter amount of time. The result of our mediation is a beneficial settlement for both parties. Unlike a litigated divorce, mediated divorce records are not made public, so the privacy of our clients is completely protected. We want those who are facing a divorce to know there is a faster, less expensive and less antagonistic approach to the commonly accepted process."

Divorce Is Difficult Enough Without a Lot of Tension, Mediation Helps to Reduce This

Newport Beach, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2013 -- According to the United States Census Bureau, almost 37% of married women between the ages of 20 and 24 divorce. For men, this number increases to almost 39 percent! "When a person divorces while young, his or her perception of marriage may be negatively affected for the rest of their life if the divorce is very bitter. Divorce Mediation Newport Beach helps to prevent this from happening," Lani Baron, a Divorce Mediation Attorney and founder of Alternative Divorce Solutions, declares.

Mediation remains a voluntary process, one which allows couples to reach a settlement which benefits both without the high costs of a traditional divorce. Couples who choose to undergo mediation typically find the cooperation developed during the process extends to future interactions, making this a good choice for couples with children who may be affected by lingering anger and dissatisfaction. "Even those couples without children find this to be a good option as they leave the marriage with less anger toward the former spouse," Ms. Baron continues.

Mediation protects privacy as the records aren't made public and the mediation process normally takes less time than a litigated divorce. In many situations, the process is complete within the six month, one day waiting period. "Divorcing spouses appreciate the fact that the process is less drawn out so both parties can move forward with life," Ms. Baron goes on to say.

Experts recommend each party in the divorce obtain an outside legal review of the marital settlement agreement or stipulated judgment. This review ensures the agreement or judgment follows the law and that the interests of both parties are represented. "Alternative Divorce Solutions offers outside legal reviews for couples who have undergone the mediation process with a mediator or attorney. During this review, the attorney looks to see if the settlement is fair and if the party would receive a similar settlement in the event the case went to court," Ms. Baron says.

"Divorce affects every aspect of a person's life. Mediators strive to reduce the stress of the parties involved in the divorce and the friction that may arise during the divorce process. Ending a marriage is never an easy decision. Fighting through the divorce process makes everything more difficult. With Divorce Mediation, the stress and friction decrease so all parties begin their new life with a more positive outlook," Ms. Baron forcefully states.
