Traditional divorces pose a substantial but frequently overlooked risk: the public exposure of sensitive personal information. During the court proceedings, documents that encompass financial records, family dynamics, and intimate details are submitted and become part of the public record. This transparency can lead to serious privacy concerns, as these private matters are accessible to anyone, including potential employers, business associates, and even strangers.

Mediation offers several advantages over traditional divorce proceedings. It ensures privacy and confidentiality, keeping sensitive personal information out of the public record. Mediation is typically less adversarial, faster, and more cost-effective, reducing both financial and emotional strain. It also allows parties to have more control over the outcome, fostering mutually beneficial agreements and promoting healthier post-divorce relationships, especially benefiting children.
