If you’re beginning the divorce process, you may be wondering:

“Why pay for divorce mediation when I could just download free Utah divorce forms online?”

It’s a reasonable question, but the truth is that divorce mediation offers advantages that self-help documents can’t match. Mediation provides personalized guidance, reduces conflict, and ensures that your final decree is thorough and enforceable. Below are three key reasons why choosing divorce mediation in Utah, especially with a trusted provider like JR Law Group, may be the best choice for your family.

1. Mediation Helps Improve Communication and Reduce Conflict

Even in amicable divorces, emotions can run high. What starts as a minor disagreement can quickly become a significant roadblock when you’re trying to complete divorce paperwork on your own.

An experienced divorce mediator brings structure and neutrality, helping both spouses communicate clearly and stay focused on solutions.

With JR Law Group’s mediators, who have over 20 years of experience guiding Utah families through mediation, you get a supportive environment that promotes productive and respectful dialogue.

This results in more transparent agreements, reduced tension, and a smoother overall divorce process.

2. Customized Divorce Agreements – Not Generic Online Forms

Online divorce forms are one-size-fits-all. But no two families are alike.

Your mediator helps you create a customized divorce agreement tailored to your unique financial situation, parenting schedules, assets, and long-term goals. Instead of walking away with a generic template, you receive a professional, easy-to-read divorce decree drafted to meet the specific needs of your family.

At JR Law Group, our mediator, Diann Burgener brings years of experience working with the courts, helping families through the divorce process, and assisting in drafting court documents. Her background gives her an in-depth understanding of what the courts expect, how to structure agreements correctly, and how to guide couples through issues and with innovative solutions and various options that standard online forms often overlook.

3. Confidence That Everything Is Done Correctly the First Time

Divorce involves serious legal, financial, and parenting decisions – many of which aren’t addressed in standard online forms. Divorce mediation helps couples work through the issues and handles the court documents and filings so nothing important is overlooked.

And with JR Law Group, your mediator’s background provides an additional layer of support. You’ll know your parenting plan and divorce decree are thorough, understandable, accurate, and enforceable under Utah law.

Myth vs. Fact: How Long Divorce Mediation Really Takes

Many people enter mediation assuming it will only take an hour or two. That’s a common myth. Even when couples are mainly on the same page, mediation takes time to:

• Start productive conversations
• Work through each issue carefully
• Create agreements
• Draft the paperwork
  

In most cases, Utah divorce mediation lasts between a half day and a full day. JR Law Group prepares clients with realistic expectations so you take the necessary time to ensure the job is done right.
