Collaborative Divorce vs. Divorce Mediation: What’s the Difference and Which is Right for You?

Posted by Steve Lopez | Jun 06, 2025 | 0 Comments

Divorce mediation and collaborative divorce are two cooperative alternatives to traditional courtroom litigation. In divorce mediation, a neutral third-party mediator helps spouses communicate and reach mutual agreements on key issues like property division, child custody, and support. It’s typically faster, more affordable, and less stressful than going to court. Collaborative divorce, on the other hand, involves each spouse hiring a specially trained attorney and working with a team of professionals—including financial and child specialists—to resolve matters without litigation. This process is well-suited for high-asset or emotionally complex cases. At SoCal Mediation Center, we offer experienced guidance in both approaches, helping clients resolve disputes respectfully, privately, and efficiently—while protecting relationships and promoting long-term stability for families.
