Mediation is a confidential process, which is why so many prefer it over litigation. Read more about it here.
Individuals increasingly opt to represent themselves in custody, support, divorce, and modification proceedings in these economic times to save money. Perhaps you are interested in saving on legal fees but worried that doing so could jeopardize your chances of a successful outcome. Or, maybe you are confused by the complexities of the highly technical court process but cannot afford to have an attorney handle all aspects of the litigation.
