Wisconsin Divorce Mediation

Divorce doesn’t have to be drawn out. Divorce mediation is a negotiation process where a trained, impartial mediator works with you and your spouse to reach a divorce settlement without going to court. Divorce mediation allows you to make your own decisions about your divorce agreement, preventing a judge from ordering an unfair settlement.

Divorce mediation is more cost-effective than other types of divorce, and Divergent can give you a fixed-fee rate for the cost of divorce mediation

Divorce mediation is ideal for couples who wish to settle their divorce quickly and easily — and finding the right mediator makes all the difference.

How Does Mediation Work in Wisconsin?

In divorce mediation, parties briefly explain their positions on each issue, and the mediator assists in reaching a series of compromises. The mediator facilitates communication and resolution, often leading to the settlement, and allowing you to avoid trial. This can be done in a single session, or over a series of sessions.

Divorce Mediation Checklist

What To Prepare:

After you schedule and before you meet, your Divergent divorce mediator will email you exactly what to prepare for your first session. Usually, this includes instructions on how to create an account to file for divorce electronically, allowing you to file for divorce in your first mediation session.

What To Bring:

Be ready to discuss solutions. You usually don’t need to bring anything to your first divorce mediation session. If your mediator needs something from you, they’ll contact you well beforehand to explain what to bring.

What To Expect:

  1. Your mediator will explain the rules of mediation, which include rights and obligations during the process.
  2. Your mediator will guide you through the divorce forms, and file your paperwork upon completion.
  3. You’ll discuss issues that need to be handled on a temporary basis (child placement, bill payments, etc.), and find a solution until you agree on an official settlement.
  4. Your mediator might assign you some “homework” for your next session — including working on a parenting plan or compiling financial statements.
