- Spousal SupportOne of the key benefits of mediation is the ability to come up with creative solutions that may not be possible in court. For example, if you need additional time to refinance the family residence, or if you want to stay partners in a business venture or real estate, a court may not be able to order these terms. However, in mediation, you can come to an agreement that works for you and your family. Additionally, in long-term marriages, over 10 years, the court cannot order step down orders in spousal support but you can agree to a step down in support. This will relieve of the future need to file a modification down the road for support. For example: spousal support could be originally set at $1000 a month and then in five years it automatically gets stepped down to $500 a month, when a spouse has more work experience, or they have completed their education. This will save thousands in future attorney’s fees and stress for your family. Coming to an agreement may bring you many benefits that a court can not provide.
