Portland, OR family law attorney Katie Goss talks about the pros and cons of choosing mediation in a divorce. She states that the primary benefit of mediation is that the parties participate voluntarily, with the goal of reaching a solution that both can accept. This approach allows them to avoid the costs associated with litigation as well as the risks inherent in leaving decisions to a judge.
