0:04
the prosar It’s usually the least exp
0:07
expensive option uh for for going
0:09
through the divorce it’s also client
0:12
directed so you know the parties have
0:15
control over the process how long it
0:17
takes and whether or not they reach an
0:18
agreement it’s confidential just like
0:21
collaborative so nobody else is hearing
0:23
all of their all of their issues those
0:26
are some of the advantages um
0:27
disadvantages are you it’s usually not
0:30
appropriate if there’s a real power
0:32
imbalance or if one person is a lot more
0:35
in the no than the other because it’s
0:38
not the mediat mediator’s job to to
0:40
create balance in the process and so if
0:43
if one party is particularly
0:46
vulnerable um and needs more support or
0:50
if there are issues such as domestic
0:52
violence significant mental health
0:54
issues or substance abuse it’s usually
0:56
not the right process another
0:58
disadvantage is similarly to
1:00
collaborative if it fails the parties
1:02
have to start over in another process
1:04
like litigation they can’t use the
1:07
mediator in court to move forward
