What Factors Dictate How Long Divorce and Family Law Mediation Takes vs. Litigation?
In mediation, the willingness of both parties to collaborate and negotiate in good faith directly impacts the duration of the process. If parties are open to compromise and work together constructively, mediation can often lead to faster resolutions than litigation, where disputes are resolved through court procedures and may be subject to delays.
Litigation involves adherence to formal legal procedures, including filing motions, responding to court orders, and attending hearings, which can contribute to delays. In contrast, mediation is a less formal process that allows parties to focus on reaching agreements rather than navigating complex legal procedures. This streamlined approach can lead to quicker resolutions in many cases.
Unlike litigated divorce cases, which can last months or even years, most pre-suit divorce mediations are completed, and agreements are signed and ready for filing within four to six weeks.
