Mediation: parents decide and as needed, access financial planners, family therapists, attorneys and other specialists.If a couple is able to effectively negotiate they do not need arbitrators, lawyers, judges, juries and court to move their relationship from being unhappily married to divorced with a sustainable co-parenting plan. Couples unable to negotiate can retain two lawyers ($$$$$.$$ retainer fees), file and build their cases over months and months only to sit on the edge of their seats in court for someone else or some jury to decide the fate of their own futures along with that of their children. Of course, even if one parent thinks they won that doesn't mean the other won't appeal and start the process over again.
