When couples are getting divorced and rely on the judge to make decisions for them, the outcomes are more limited than when they reach their own agreements in mediation.
Lately, NCRC has had a number of divorcing clients who don’t want to sell their houses due to the current market conditions. In mediation, they can agree to continue to co-own it, but change the title from Joint Tenants to Tenants in Common. Then when they are ready later, they can sell it. In court, if the parties don't agree on what to do about the house, the court is likely to order that it be sold.
The point to take from this:
Mediation offers more flexibility with outcomes than a court can.
