There are two main reasons:
First, even in the best of circumstances, the end of a significant relationship involves such intense emotional turmoil that makes if difficult for two people to resolve issues without professional help.
Second, most individuals do not have the specific knowledge necessary for making fully informed decisions about the financial and legal aspects of divorce.
A frequent observation is that mediation is the closest to a do-it-yourself divorce settlement - you make all the decisions but have the security of professional assistance. The mediator insures that you are fully informed about your legal and financial options.
A divorce professional will insure that that your interests and goals are valued in the negotiation, and that your final settlement is fair. The mediator will draft a divorce agreement that will be approved by the court.
