Mediation
When couples must dissolve their relationship, married or not, the most proficient way to address all issues is through mediation. If there was a marriage, divorce mediation is the most efficient process that encourages compromise and allows the parties to control the outcome of all issues instead of the court. Both parties direct what they want their future to look like.
When couples are unmarried, a mediator can help them work through any unresolved matters in the same manner, leading to full resolutions that you control. Consider mediation when you want to attain positive outcomes.
