The last thing you want on top of the pain is the added price tag that comes with hiring a high-priced attorney. Should you choose to make your divorce a knock-down-drag-out fight, it’s going to cost you a pretty penny. And things can only go down from there.

As much as your former spouse hurt you, there’s no upside to dragging out the process.

It’s private

Any proceedings that take place in a courtroom becomes a public record and anyone with an interest in the matter or even free time can sit in and listen.

Dragging out the process or being combative only serve to compound your pain while reminding them why they are leaving you. Opting for mediation can help you get through the process without heaping on more misery.
