Is it possible to get a divorce without going to court in New Mexico?
Absolutely, and it can be quick, inexpensive and fair. It's called mediation. At the law firm of Atkinson & Kelsey, we can help you determine whether it is right for you.
Our attorneys will start by taking the time to discuss your case directly with you. We will learn about you, your family and your situation. We will tell you about the potential outcomes that can be achieved through mediation. We will tell you about the other paths you could go down and the potential outcomes that could result from them. We will help you make an informed decision.
What Are the Benefits of Mediation?
The benefits of mediation are very clear:
- It's quick. You don't have to wait in line for court appearances. Divorce litigation can drag on and on. Mediation tends to be much more efficient.
- It's cost-effective. Because it takes less time, your legal fees are typically less.
- It's fair. When you go to court, you put the decision in the hands of a judge. The judge doesn't know you. The decision may very well be something that neither you nor your spouse is happy with. On the other hand, mediation allows the two of you to work together to reach an outcome you can both agree on.
In addition to having a lawyer from our firm on your side, you will work with a skilled mediator to create a resolution by working together.
In addition to mediation, our law firm offers collaborative law services. This is a similar process in that it allows both parties to work together to reach an outcome. Our lawyers will explain the differences between the two approaches to help determine which is right for you.
