Why Is Mediation Required in Utah Divorce?

Divorce, and in many cases, child custody, is a family matter. In Utah, the court encourages conflict resolution with respect to children and their future. Mediation can address strong emotional issues, common interests, and parental disagreements in an environment designed to allow discussion.

According to Utah’s Divorce Mediation Program, other benefits of mediation may include:

• Mediation, on average, is a quicker resolution
• Mediation is often less costly
• Mediation is thought to be less stressful than court
