As the Economy Sours, More Couples Use Mediation

Heard an interesting story on NPR today that talked about the effect the economy is having on couples who wish to divorce.  Given how tight things are these days, it makes sense that couples would seek a lower cost alternative to the traditional attorney driven divorce which even for uncontested cases can cost on average $27,000 here in the State of NJ.  The good news is that by doing do, many are finding out that not only does mediation cost less (around $5,000 to $7,000) it works better as well.
