For example, child custody and parenting time (visitation), child support, division of real and personal property, division of assets and division of debts and spousal maintenance (alimony).on is to try to make the decision for yourself through different methods of alternative dispute resolution.

Sometimes couples seek to avoid the financial and emotional drain of litigation. Through mediation, parties can use a neutral mediator to help them resolve issues. Mediators in these situations listen to both sides and offer different approaches to resolving problems. This can often lead to a friendlier, relationship between parties once the divorce is finalized.
